Castro Statement on San Antonio High School Student Detained in the Dilley Trailer Prison
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, Congressman Joaquin Castro (TX-20) released the following statement:
"Alejandro is a high school student in San Antonio. He was on his way to a soccer game when ICE surrounded his home and took him and his father. They have been locked away for over 3 weeks at the Dilley trailer prison. He missed his last days of 10th grade.
"I met with Alejandro at Dilley. He told me how much he misses his mother and was having trouble eating. They are asylum seekers and did everything the right way. They do not belong at Dilley-no child does. ICE should release them immediately and let Alejandro and his dad return home."
Background:
Congressman Castro met with Alejandro and his father, Jairo, during his inspection of the Dilley detention center on May 26.
