Children Treated Like Criminals at Immigrant Detention Center
Tagged: children, deportation, detention, detention center, family, parents, prisonPosted on: March 28th, 2007“The T. Don Hutto Residential Facility was converted from a prison to an immigrant family detention center in May 2006. Today, about 208 children are detained with their parents like the hardened criminals who once called the facility home.
Located in Taylor, Texas, the facility is billed by the Department of Homeland Security as a federal refuge and is supposed to be the government’s humanitarian answer to keeping non-Mexican immigrant families together as they wait out their deportation appeals or asylum requests.
Yet, to many, it’s compassionate conservatism at its worst.”
