""There is absolutely no rights-respecting or safe way for DHS to incarcerate families and children," said Robyn Barnard, director of refugee advocacy at Human Rights First."
""The systemic neglect, denial of due process, and state-sanctioned harm under the Trump administration constitute a humanitarian crisis for immigrant children and their families," stated Fais Al-Juburi, co-executive director of RAICES."
""Since I got to this center, all I feel is sadness and mostly depression," said 14-year-old Ariana Velasquez after weeks of detention alongside her mother."
""I feel like I'll never..." expressed 13-year-old Gustavo Santiago, reflecting the uncertainty shared by many detained children."
A report on the family detention center in Dilley, Texas, reveals severe issues including depression among children, spoiled food, and inadequate medical care. The analysis by Human Rights First and RAICES highlights structural abuses and rights violations in the detention of migrant families. Prolonged detentions, limited legal assistance, and threats of family separation are identified as systemic problems. The report emphasizes that the conditions under the Trump administration have created a humanitarian crisis for immigrant families, supported by testimonies from detained children expressing emotional distress.
