The South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley has been at the center of national outcry about the Trump White House’s immigration policies.
“I was called many things that I don’t wish to repeat.”The migrant detention center has come under fire from immigrant-rights advocates, who say it fails to provide adequate care for those in its custody.
Court testimony filed by immigrant advocacy group RAICES in July alleged Dilley detainees face a lack of medical care, clean drinking water and adequate food.
But, the culture there was off, in that [detainees] were seen and viewed as less than human.”U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, inspected the detention center Wednesday and met with Ramos and his father.
“There are no criminals at Dilley,” Castro said at a press conference Wednesday afternoon.
