A Mother and Child Trapped in Obama’s Brutal Family Deportation System

DILLEY, TEXAS - May 14, 2015: Residents walk through the facility grounds to eat lunch at the cafeteria. The South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas was built in December 2014 to host up to 2,400 undocumented women and children who are seeking asylum. The Dilley facility is the largest of its kind, and while residents may move freely from building to building, they are not permitted to leave the grounds.
