Congressman Greg Casar on Children Suffering at Dilley Detention Center

Published | Video Starts at 00:38

But it isn't temporary. I was just talking to 5 year olds that have been inside this prison in the desert for nearly a year. They say there's medical care, but I talked to 20 year old women that had lumps in their arms that couldn't go see a doctor. They say that there's a dentist on site, but I was looking in little kids mouths where they've had over a dozen cavities for months and they've been denied care. (00:38–00:46)
