As Feds Lock Up More Immigrant Families, Abuse Allegations Grow

November 05, 2014 (1 min read)

"An 8-year-old boy was raped and sexually abused at the Artesia Detention facility in New Mexico but Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials at the facility did little to stop the abuse, said Bryan Johnson an immigration attorney who is representing the boy’s family.  As the number of detention beds for migrant children and families grows rapidly, including two facilities in Texas, advocates and attorneys worry that abuse is increasing too." - Melissa del Bosque, Texas Observer, Nov. 4, 2014.
