Centers plural, which means both of the Family Jails in Texas. This means that 455 parents, children and infants are without power and water, in the custody of the government - by force and for no reason. #FreeThemAll.

No ability to choose clothes to keep warm or get blankets. Can't start a fire to keep warm. Can't ask their kids what resort they want to vacation in. No autonomy - only the forced imprisonment of kids & the parents who are doing everything they can to keep their kids alive.
No one *has* to be in a family jail. It's the discretion to the government. Which means these children were chosen to be placed, and kept, in a facility that has no water or power. I appreciate the transparency of @ICEgov explaining - but what will be done about it?
Now - if reporting is true - seems like we are moving in the right direction.

The reality is - a humane immigration system cannot exist with the detention of children or parents seeking safety. The dangers of this torture far outweigh the benefits. End it there, and end it here. Children deserve to be safe, free and together with their parents.
