Women and children at Dilley will remain until they are deported, released on bond or begin immigration court proceedings that could allow them to stay in the United States. ICE says 70 percent of immigrant families released into the U.S. never showed up for follow-up appointments — part of the reason the agency is adding detention capacity.
immigrant camp2Dilly’s cottages include bunk beds and cribs that can sleep up to eight, a flat-screen TV and a kitchen — though cooking is prohibited to prevent fires. The cafeteria is open 12 hours daily and snacks can be had around the clock.
There’s medical care and counselors, trailer classrooms, library and email access and a basketball court and playgrounds — all meant to showcase the softer side of immigration detention.
According to NPR, construction companies (who mysteriously bypassed the normal bidding procedure), broke ground in October and installed those 80 new modular buildings, sandwiched between the workers’ camp and a prison. So for the AP author to make it sound like the government just did a few renovations to an existing site is a complete falsehood.
The government is spending our money like there’s no tomorrow and stomping all over free enterprise in creating new markets. Meanwhile we have FEMA camps, that we also paid for, sitting empty when they could be using them.
