An Open Letter

To: Sen. Bettencourt, Rep. Harless, Gov. Abbott, Lt. Gov. Patrick

From: A constituent in Tomball, TX

March 13

There is a human rights disaster going on in Texas, right under your nose. I hope you will do everything in your power to get the El Gamal family released from the Dilley concentration camp immediately. They have been illegally, unconstitutionally detained there for NINE MONTHS! It is nothing short of torture. Their community in Colorado has vouched for them and raised $100000 to get them back home where one of the girls is an honor student and the youngest twins should be in kindergarten. This situation is horrific. Demand inspections, demand their release as well as ALL of the other children being cruelly held. And demand that the Dilley camp be closed again. It is completely unacceptable that we are allowing such detestable human rights abuses to occur in Texas.
