DILLEY, Texas Overflowing toilets, freezing temperatures, one bottle of water per person for an entire day, frozen food and milk are the conditions some ICE detainees described to their immigration attorneys the week a winter storm hit Texas.
“Nothing seems to shock me in immigration anymore,” said Allison Herre, managing attorney for Proyecto Dilley, which represents families held at the Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility in Dilley, Texas. “It s been a very eventful last four years in the immigration world.”
