An 18-month-old girl who spent nearly two months in an immigration detention center in Texas became so “gravely ill” while inside that she was hospitalized for 10 days with life-threatening respiratory illnesses, according to a federal lawsuit.
After the toddler was released from the hospital, she was forced to return to Immigration and Customs Enforcement custody inside the sprawling detention center, where staff confiscated her prescribed medication, according to a lawsuit seen by The Independent.
