DHS Addresses Controversy Surrounding Austin Child's ICE Detention
The family says federal agents stopped Liam Tadeo and his father on the way to a soccer game, and he was due to start kindergarten.
- On Sunday, August 17, U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents detained 5-year-old Liam Tadeo and his father during a traffic stop in Austin, days before the boy was due to start kindergarten.
- Agents transported Tadeo to the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas, a for-profit facility where Congressman Greg Casar says children 'should be playing soccer, going to school, living their lives.'
- Video circulating online shows Tadeo crying during the arrest, prompting his aunt Patricia Resendiz to launch a fundraiser where she described the detention as 'cruel.'
- Congressman Joaquin Castro attempted to visit Tadeo at the facility, but ICE officials denied access, leading Castro to call their denial 'shady stuff.'
- Judge Dolly Gee recently ordered new oversight at Dilley, citing unsafe temperatures and inadequate sleeping quarters; records show about 1,560 children held there exceeded the 20-day Flores settlement limit over the past year.
