And he's telling me about the human rights abuses that are happening at Dilley.
It has to end.
And that can't be on our watch.
And this is not the last time or the first time that we've seen a baby, an infant being treated this way in Dilley.
I am sick to my stomach seeing the abuses that have been committed against our undocumented neighbors in Texas and all over this country.
You mentioned that I was a teacher on the west side of San Antonio.
I taught a lot of undocumented students.
In Houston, we saw ICE murder Lorenzo Salgado, our fellow Texan who had lived in Houston for 35 years.
And as a construction worker, he sent his three boys to college.
His oldest is a public school teacher.
His middle son's an engineer.
His youngest is still in school.
I mean, Lorenzo Salgado embodied the American dream and the fact that we are spending our limited law enforcement resources on Lorenzo Salgado on a two month old.
Those are law enforcement resources that aren't going to actual immigration and customs enforcement.
Those resources aren't going to keeping us safe and removing people who actually mean to do us harm, which we should do.
Instead, those resources are going to to masked men and unmarked vehicles that are terrorizing our communities over the state.
They're going to these detention centers like Dilley.
And I think we need a senator from Texas who is going to hold ICE accountable, who's going to end these human rights abuses in in these facilities and who's going to fight for comprehensive immigration reform finally so we can stop grandstanding on this issue and actually fix it.
