Police Deploy Chemical Irritants at Protesters Gathered Outside Texas Detention Center, in Photos

Activists and lawmakers highlight alleged poor conditions and press for release of 5-year-old Liam Ramos amid ongoing protests and federal legal actions.

  • More than 30 activists left San Antonio Wednesday to demand Liam Ramos’s release and inspect Dilley detention conditions, with Reps. Castro and Crockett present.
  • Ramos and his father were picked up in Minneapolis last week by masked Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, whom witnesses said used the child as `bait`, and a federal judge in San Antonio temporarily blocked their deportation on Monday.
  • Around 2:30 p.m. on Wednesday, protesters clashed with law enforcement and were met with chemical irritants, while Sen. Chris Murphy estimates around 400 children are in custody, according to Castro.
  • After inspecting the site, Castro and Crockett will hold a 4 p.m. press conference and a community rally is scheduled at Progresso Hall, 1306 Guadalupe St., at 6:30 p.m.
  • The Department of Homeland Security disputes claims about conditions at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, amid national attention and protests, saying detainees receive basic necessities.
