Dozens of prominent figures, including Pedro Pascal and Madonna, have signed an open letter urging the federal government to shut down the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas, citing concerns over the treatment of minors detained there with their families.
The letter opens by saying that "no child should be locked in an immigration detention center," and calls for the facility's immediate closure. It further alleges that those held at Dilley face "trauma, neglect and conditions that violate basic standards of health, safety, dignity and human rights," including lack of clean water, contaminated food and inadequate medical care.
