9-Year-Old Girl and Her Father Freed From Immigration Custody After Month in Detention
Castro said the pair had been held for more than a month as he pressed ICE to release other detained families.
- On Friday, 9-year-old Katherine Bracho and her father, Jesús Bracho, were released from the South Texas Immigrant Processing Center in Dilley after being held for over a month following a Texas traffic stop.
- U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, D-San Antonio, stated ICE agents arrested Jesús Bracho after a traffic stop and later 'forced him to lure his daughter out so they could take her too,' leading to their detention.
- During his ninth inspection visit on Friday, Castro confirmed the Dilley site held 576 detainees, a 16% increase in youth population, while noting that 5-year-old Liam Tadeo was deported last Thursday.
- The facility is the only center holding immigrant families rounded up under the Trump White House mass-deportation program, which Castro criticized as 'sheer cruelty' while demanding release of a mother whose son is a U.S. Navy midshipman.
- Despite being granted parole in place, Maria Rocio Rocha, mother of a U.S. Naval Academy nominee, remains detained, as Castro argues the administration is 'targeting military families' and leaving a 'dark stain on our nation.
