Celebrities Push to Close Texas ICE Detention Center

Hollywood figures and other notable signatories including Pedro Pascal, Natasha Lyonne, Wunmi Mosaku, Morgan Spector, Carrie Coon, Diego Luna and Madonna joined a Change.org petition urging the immediate closure of the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas and an end to detaining children and families, arguing that conditions amount to trauma and violate basic health, safety, dignity and human rights. The missive targets private prison operator CoreCivic, along with DHS/ICE and officials such as Donald Trump and ICE Director Todd Lyons, with signatures growing past 2,600. Protests and attention around the facility continue, underscoring calls for transparency, accountability and systemic reform to end child imprisonment.
