""It was unbelievably surreal to see this sweet little face and feel like I was on a call with somebody who's in jail. It broke me, and it was something I never thought I'd encounter in life.""
""I am political. It's political to believe that children are worthy of love and care, and that every child is equal, and that our care shouldn't stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border.""
Rachel Accurso, known as Ms. Rachel, is actively working to close the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in South Texas, where children and families are detained by ICE. After learning about the facility through a child's detention case, she has engaged with children inside the center and collaborated with lawyers and activists. Accurso emphasizes the need for love and care for all children, regardless of their background. Reports indicate that children at Dilley face poor conditions, including inadequate education and unsanitary food.
