The staff at this facility was welcoming and dedicated to providing the best possible support and care for these children. We witnessed it in two classrooms where children learned English and Math, and in the faces of these committed and kind professionals.

Thanks to everyone there for hosting us and their compassion toward our most vulnerable immigrants.

Bottom line - no matter how well kids are treated at these facilities, it’s cruel and un-American to separate these kids from their families. We need immediate compliance with the federal court order to reunite.
