Lawmakers including Congressman Joaquin Castro toured the Dilley Immigration Processing Center and called it child abuse, demanding immediate release of all detained families and closure of the facility. They reported a surge in children held there—up to 112 since April—and shared harrowing accounts: a teen girl detained with her father, a woman with a heart condition whose health deteriorated without care. A pediatrician on the tour confirmed conditions are harmful. With 539 people now detained—including children—the lawmakers blame rising arrests and growing restrictions on oversight, including ICE officials refusing inspections. They’re pushing for an end to family detention, citing medical evidence of lasting trauma.
