Mother decries ICE detention after release: What the administration is doing is wrong and illegal'

"Warner and Ayla were held in two ICE facilities in south Texas, alongside families from Venezuela, Egypt, El Salvador, Russia and many other nations. Not all of them spoke English or even shared a common tongue but the gruelling experience of detention helped forge kinship across identities and languages."

"Immigration detainees are suffering greatly, enduring months of imprisonment with no due process, with the constant fear of separation from their children and no hope of freedom. Like Warner, most of them had committed no criminal offence, but had instead fallen afoul of Donald Trump's immigration crackdown."

"Dilley has been criticized for a lack of proper health care and food for the families detained. A report this month by Human Rights First and RAICES described pervasive abuses against families and children in detention."

Tania Warner and her daughter Ayla were released after nearly three weeks in ICE detention, experiencing camaraderie with other detainees from various countries. Warner expressed sorrow for those still imprisoned, noting that many had committed no crimes but were caught in the immigration crackdown. The Dilley detention center, where they were held, faced criticism for inadequate healthcare and food. Reports indicated widespread abuses against families and children in detention, with thousands imprisoned, including very young children.
