Rep. Castro going back to Dilley prison

I will be putting in notice Friday morning with DHS to return to Dilley to check on Liam again and the many other children and families there. Liam did not look well. My staff and I are very concerned about him.

End snip.

Such bullshit that Congress has to give notice before they show up to a detention facility. Remind anyone of the Red Cross inspecting Nazi ghettos? Gives them time to "clean up" before Congress arrives. Like yesterday when the prison said the children are getting education when the children and parents said they are getting nothing.

Abolish 🧊! Now!

Just visited with Liam and his father at Dilley detention center. I demanded his release and told him how much his family, his school, and our country loves him and is praying for him.

I’m sure the food is gross and not fit for children to eat. Do the kids have school?

Another family with 5 kids was not released because judge said they have no finances. Go-fund-me has money for them and over $350,000 for Liam.
