Two-year-old held by ICE sick and not getting adequate care, Democrat warns
AI Summary
Congressman Joaquin Castro is calling for the immediate release of a sick two-year-old, Kaleth, and his mother from the ICE family detention center in Dilley, Texas. Castro alleges Kaleth is not receiving adequate medical care, citing a fever and refusal to eat due to concerns about the food quality. Castro has long been a critic of the Dilley facility, formally known as the South Texas Family Residential Center, and has called for its closure, citing inhumane conditions and inadequate care. The facility, run by CoreCivic, has faced previous criticism regarding healthcare and living conditions, including reports of measles cases and shortages of essential supplies. CoreCivic maintains that the health and safety of detainees is their top priority. Castro asserts that the U.S. is profiting from the imprisonment of innocent children.
