Contrary to popular belief, not all families separated under Zero Tolerance in '18 were freed after they were reunited. Instead, they faced indefinite imprisonment in Karnes.
Learn more about this in our new report "The U.S. Government Kidnapped My Son." raicestexas.org/mslreport?ms=t…
In the report, one dad recalls: “[My son] would cry for his mother, that he wants to be with his mother. And [officers] would drug us to not feel anything for the family. I did not know how to console [my son] because I was also imprisoned. I couldn’t communicate with him.”
“We were without communication [w/the outside world]; we were kidnapped. I couldn’t even feel like a father, one cannot do anything while imprisoned & without release.”
As another dad put it: “This is a torture that has been imposed on them. This has been a prison-a living hell-for all of our little ones.”
Families spent an average of 52 days separated & 68 days detained in Karnes after reunification. That’s 120 days in prison for children.
Our report shows THIS is what happens when ICE is left to its own discretion. THIS is why we need all hands on deck to stop family separation 2.0
