Protest Erupts at Dilley Immigration Center Over 5-Year-Old Case
A peaceful protest broke out at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley after guards ordered attorneys to leave during confidential visits, as detainees—many children—chanted 'Libertad' in solidarity with five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos, who had been moved from Minnesota to Dilley. Advocates press for the boy’s release; DHS disputes some accounts of his seizure. Detainees described harsh conditions (putrid water, meals with bugs) and an estimated 1,500 protesters, with CoreCivic running the facility amid renewed scrutiny of immigration enforcement.
