3. Let's never forget about the "blue butterfly room" in the Dilly center in Texas.

It's where they put the young women and older girls. It's a place no one but the guards have access to and for which there is no oversight too.

We all know what is going on in there. And if it's happening there, it's happening in other centers too.

My family friend who was taken, a 19 year old boy, was held for two months before he was deported. He was taken in the clothing he was wearing in an emergency room after a head injury sustained from playing a college sport. He received no further medical intervention after he was taken. In the two months before he was deported, he was given a sweatshirt but no other clothing. He was moved from center to center without any explanation. He wore the same clothes for 2 months. The food was also scarce.

This is America today.
