Dilley

Dilley, Texas is the location of an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detention center. It has recently gained attention due to the detention of a five-year-old boy, Liam Conejo Ramos, and his father, Adrian Conejo Arias, who were apprehended in Minnesota. The pair were transferred to the Dilley facility after being detained on January 20th. Their detention has sparked controversy, with concerns raised about the child's well-being. Texas Congressman Joaquin Castro visited them at the facility and reported on the child's distress. Following a judge's order, Liam and his father have since been released and returned to Minnesota. The incident has highlighted the broader issue of ICE's detention practices, particularly concerning children and families, and raised questions about the circumstances surrounding their arrest and transfer to Dilley.
