There is a family detention in Texas that will be closed and it might be turned into an adult male facility. This center is where families are kept while they are being filed for a deportation. Children are also kept in these detention centers. This was announced by the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
"ICE Director Sarah Saldaña told members of Congress on Thursday about the plans to shut down the Karnes Family Residential Center during a House appropriations committee hearing, the Texas Observer reported. The center is one of two in Texas that hold immigrant families, including infants."
They said that it might become an all male facility center and that they might let children in. This shows how they do not have good plans. They are going to take the centers away and that can be good because fewer families are being put there to be deported. It can mean that fewer people will get deported. It is better for people to be less humiliated when they aren’t classified in deportation building.
"The news comes as the Obama administration plans to cut back on funding for such centers. In Obama's proposed budget for the 2017 fiscal year, he allocated spending for 960 beds, down from 1,800 in 2016."
“It is really a jail.”
I believe that a detention center is a place where people get shoved into because of their immigration status. I agree with the quote saying that it is like a jail because it is a place where people go to get deported.
