On Nov. 16, a mental health counselor recorded in Kamillaโs medical records that her mother reported the girl had lost her appetite after being โserved food that contained worms.โ
A week later, the couple said, children were told to gather in the gym for what they believed would be a Thanksgiving celebration. Excitement spread as families saw tables set with turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, they said. The children waited expectantly. But when a parent asked when the celebration would begin, Oksana said, staff told them the holiday meal was for employees, not detainees.
The children, she said, watched despondently as the feast was packed away.
On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast.
The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me.
But the food wasnโt for detainees โ it was for the staff.

5 Calls
Spend 5 minutes. Make 5 calls. Make your voice heard.
I just called my reps with @5calls.org, you should too: 5calls.org
I hate making calls but stopping the proposed budget plan to increase funding for ICE is too important.

Itโs a month since the administration detained and disappeared a green card holder, a lawful permanent resident.
We cannot allow this to be normalized or forgotten.

4 Top Officials Resign Over Adamsโs Cooperation With Trump
Four deputy mayors to Eric Adams are leaving โto stay faithful to the oaths we swore to New Yorkers and our families,โ they said in a statement.
The bare minimum New Yorkers deserve is a mayor willing to accept his mistakes and step aside for the good of the city.
Instead, we have Eric Adams, who is forcing his administration to nosediveโand putting the safety of our city at risk in the process.
