I am writing to express my outrage regarding the ongoing detention of children and families at facilities like the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley. Recent reports, including the hospitalization of a toddler and the detention of a five-year-old boy from Minnesota, highlight the inhumane conditions and medical neglect inherent in these "prisons." Detaining children is a violation of human rights and causes irreparable trauma. I urge you to take immediate action to end the funding of these facilities and close all family detention centers. Our immigration system should prioritize dignity and safety, not the incarceration of families.
