Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-San Antonio), along with seven other representatives, visited the family inside the South Texas Family Residential Center on Tuesday and are campaigning for their release from the ICE detention center.
Five-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and a family of five from McAllen are examples of former detainees shortly released after Castro’s call for action.
Castro has made frequent visits over the last six months and previously said “conditions are worsening” inside the Dilley facility.
