Jenna King on Instagram: "🚨 URGENT: Crisis at Dilley, Texas Detention Center
A five-year-old boy was taken from his home and moved over 1,300 miles to the Dilley, Texas detention facility. His detention sparked a major protest inside the camp this weekend, with detained families chanting for freedom.
While reports of chemical weapons being used specifically on protesters outside Dilley this week are still emerging, a clear pattern of violence is escalating:
· Federal agents have used chemical weapons (tear gas, pepper spray) against civilians in recent weeks as part of aggressive immigration operations.
· Conditions inside Dilley are horrific: Food served with worms and mold, children denied medical care leading to permanent harm, and families held for months in psychologically damaging conditions.
· The protest shows resistance from within. Those detained are demanding basic dignity and liberty.
This is a chain of escalation: armed enforcement, inhumane detention, and a violent response to dissent.

Documented conditions include:
· Contaminated Food & Water: Food served with worms and mold, and limited access to clean drinking water. One mother described sucking sauce off pasta to get her child to eat something plain.
· Inadequate Medical Care: Children with chronic issues going untreated. One child’s ear infection led to permanent hearing loss due to lack of care.
· Psychological Harm: Lawyers report children experiencing regression, constant sadness, nightmares, and self-harm. A teenage boy detained with his father reported crying every night.
· Prolonged Detention: Families are being held for months, with many detained for over 80 days in these conditions."
