Protest erupts outside Texas family detention center over migrant treatment
Dozens of immigrant families protested behind the fences of the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, demanding humane treatment as a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father detained in Minnesota were held there; chants of 'Libertad' echoed as an immigration attorney described the disruption, amid broader national tensions over detention policy tied to the Flores Settlement. The center, reopened after political shifts, has faced safety criticisms, and Texas leads in ICE arrests and detention facilities, with four detainee deaths reported in recent weeks.
