Two-year-old held by ICE sick and not getting adequate care, Democrat warns

Rep. Joaquin Castro, a San Antonio Democrat, is demanding the release of a two-year-old boy named Kaleth and his mother from the Dilley family detention center in Texas, citing inadequate medical care and poor facility conditions. The child is running a fever, refusing food, and staff dismissed his mother's requests for help as psychological rather than medical, Castro said in a social media post. The Dilley ICE facility has faced longstanding criticism from detainees over mold, worms in food, and other conditions. Castro characterized the center as a "trailer prison" and called the situation "shameful," framing it as part of broader concerns about how immigration authorities treat vulnerable families in custody.
