No, I think it squares with what some people have told us, which is they effectively lock the place down as much as they can when members of Congress go and visit. With respect to the education process, let's remember that Dilley reopened in April of 2025, and for 11 months, they didn't offer any educational classroom instruction to the kids there. They offered packets that they would just give out, hand out if the kids wanted them. But there was otherwise no classroom instruction. So I think, Greg, somebody asked a question today.

CLAIM

Asserts that Dilley did not provide classroom instruction for 11 months after reopening in April 2025.
