Dozens of immigrant families gathered Saturday behind chain-link fences at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, chanting “¡Libertad!” as children held handmade signs reading “Libertad para los niños,” or “Freedom for the kids.”
The protest was sparked by the detention of 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos and his father, Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, who were transferred this week from Minnesota to the Texas ICE facility.
