Takeaways from AP's report on the ICE detention center holding children and parents
More than 1,300 detainees, mostly families with children, are held at Dilley despite allegations of prolonged child detention and care deficiencies, ICE and DHS say conditions meet standards.
- U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement has detained over 1,300 people at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Dilley, Texas, since its reopening last spring, housing family units.
- The Trump administration reversed earlier policy and reopened Dilley after a special committee recommended ending family detention and the Biden administration began phasing it out in 2021.
- Parents and monitors described deficient care inside Dilley, citing a 13-year-old girl who self-harmed after withheld antidepressants and reports of foul water, while ICE, DHS and CoreCivic rejected these allegations.
- Some families have been detained for months, uprooting children from schools and communities, while Leecia Welch counted more than 30 children held over 100 days this month and many detained were later deported.
- AP data show ICE booked more than 3,800 children during the first nine months, with averages above 220 per day, as CoreCivic projects about $180 million in revenue.
