I’m writing to demand that two-month-old Juan Nicolas be immediately released with his mother into the care of a hospital. Juan Nicolas, a two-month-old baby, is detained with his mom at Dilley Detention Center in Texas. He is going to die if he’s not seen. Get him medical help now, and get him out of that facility. It’s no place for any child, let alone a baby. He is sick, and rapidly growing sicker. As of my email he has not yet seen a doctor at all. An independent reporter named Lidia Terrazas, is covering this story. It has been picked up, and pediatricians are weighing in online based on a video Lidia made, sounding the alarm that this baby is in mortal danger without immediate medical treatment. Just how many more people and children have to die before you decide to speak out? I’d like to know. Do one of your loved ones need to die? I want an answer.
