Hundreds of protesters are expected to arrive in Dilley Saturday at noon.

It's estimated there are over 300 men, women and children being detained at the center.

Cheryl Gonzalez with Project Unidad, one of the protest organizers, says they are focusing on children who are not getting clean drinking water, proper medical attention and are being abused by the staff.

Texas Democratic Congressman Joaquin Castro recently said that since the departure of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, officials at the Dilley Detention Center have been operating under even more secrecy and are still mistreating detainees there.

Huckabee also said, They're not asking to go back to take all of that, but they are asking to at least take the land that they now occupy, they now live in, they now own legitimately.

The cannon was originally discovered in 1852 near the site of the Alamo.

The owner, Samuel Maverick, was a signer of the Texas Declaration of Independence.

Colby Lanham is senior researcher and historian for the Alamo.

I was kind of skeptical, if I'm being honest.

The man offering to donate the artifact was a direct descendant of Maverick.

Yeah, I about fell over.

I think he could have knocked me over with a feather.

I was so excited.

I had wrote about that cannon in my master's thesis.
