US EditionCelebrities Join Petition to Shut Down Dilley Immigration Center in Texas, over Abuse Claims
Over 2,300 children detained at Dilley face trauma and neglect under prison-like conditions, say signatories including celebrities, physicians, and policy experts.
- On Monday, dozens of celebrities and experts signed an open letter demanding the "immediate closure" of the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas, a facility used to hold children and families following ICE raids.
- Reports of disease and abuse at Dilley prompted the call, as the Trump administration has detained "more than 2,300 children" alongside their parents during its immigration crackdown.
- Court filings document conditions that "have included refusals to provide clean water, rotten food contaminated with worms, dangerous medical neglect, sleep deprivation, denial of legal counsel, the separation of children from their families, and retaliation against families protesting."
- The petition, which has gathered "more than 4,000 signatures," pressures private prison operator CoreCivic, President Donald Trump, ICE Director Todd Lyons, and former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to end child imprisonment.
- Activists and celebrities, including Ms. Rachel and Pedro Pascal, argue that "children belong in schools and on playgrounds, not in detention centers," while demanding systemic reforms to prevent such abuses nationwide.
