For the second time<\/a> in less than a week, demonstrators gathered Sunday outside the South Texas Family Residential Center to call for the release of all children being held at immigration detention facilities. <\/p>\n

Nearly 100 people joined the League of United Latin American Citizens in calling for reforms to the nation\u2019s immigration system, which the Trump White House has weaponized to operate militarized sweeps in U.S. cities. <\/p>\n

The Dilley detention site gained national attention after Liam Conejo Ramos, a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy picked up by ICE agents in Minneapolis was sent to the lockup along with his father. <\/p>\n

On Saturday, a U.S. federal judge ordered their release<\/a>, writing the feds\u2019 case \u201chas its genesis in the ill-conceived and incompetently implemented government pursuit of daily deportation quotas, apparently even if it requires traumatizing children.\u201d<\/p>\n

More than 400 children remain detained inside the Dilley facility, located an hour Southwest of San Antonio. The camp holds approximately 1,200 detainees.<\/p>\n
