A thorough and accurate opening statement by @RepRaskin at the hearing on “Kids in Cages: Inhumane Treatment at the Border.” #CloseTheCamps #DontLookAway #MigrantPersecutionProtocols oversight.house.gov/legislation/he…
Yazmin Juárez, the mother of the 18-month-old toddler who was killed after being detained in @ICEgov custody at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, is now testifying. She said she watched her "baby girl die, slowly and painfully." #DontLookAway
She said back in Guatemala, her daughter was happy and healthy, but they had to flee and came to the US to seek asylum. They were held in @CBP custody in a "hielera" or ice box, known for the cold temperatures, and made to sleep on the concrete floor.

This is a tragedy and a crime @Dan_F_Jacobson and @RStantonJonesDC thank you for your work and for seeking #justiceforMariee
Mariee got sick in ICE detention. Two months later, after being released from detention she died of a viral infection. Conditions in detention institutions allow viruses to spread more easily and make it hard to recover. by @taydolven #justiceforMariee news.vice.com/en_us/article/…
