Democrats Castro, Crockett Set Out to Visit Detention Center
The visit aims to ensure transparency on detainee treatment amid claims of unsanitary conditions and insufficient food at a facility holding a 5-year-old child.
- On Jan. 28, Rep. Joaquin Castro visited 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias at the Dilley detention center.
- Taken Jan. 20 in Minnesota, Liam Conejo Ramos, 5-year-old, and his father Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias were transferred to the Dilley detention center about 85 miles southwest of San Antonio.
- In public comments after the visit, Castro said, `'I told him we would do anything that we could to get him out of there. I demanded from ICE they release him. I told them that most of America wants Liam released. And he should be released immediately,' Castro said.`
- A federal judge issued a temporary order Jan. 26 that prohibits the father and son's removal while their court case proceeds, and Rep. Joaquin Castro plans to return to San Antonio to brief the public and hold a rally.
- Advocates allege unsanitary conditions and inadequate care at Dilley, while Representative Tony Gonzales said, `To be frank, it is in better condition than some of our schools here in San Antonio,` and several hundred protesters are expected Wednesday.
