- The Kids Facing Medical Neglect in ICE Detention
- Date posted
- 5 days ago
- Description
- After weeks in family detention, a toddler named Amalia was sent to a San Antonio hospital with critically low oxygen levels. She spent more than a week in intensive care, where she and her mother were watched by ICE agents. After being discharged from the hospital, the toddler was sent back to the place where she had nearly died: the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, where many children had severe respiratory illnesses.
The Trump Administration has, in effect, directed immigration enforcement against kids. The harm to children is particularly clear in the revival and expansion of family detention at Dilley, where Amalia and more than 5,000 other children and parents have been held during the past year. Sarah Stillman reports on the families who have had to confront medical crises while being repeatedly denied adequate treatment.
