“Generally, we’re opposed to the idea that these could ever be called childcare facilities. They’re not childcare facilities, they’re prisons.”
Both centers—which hold asylum-seekers awaiting legal proceedings—are operated by private prison companies. Today, the two detention centers at the heart of the court case no longer house children, according to an ICE spokesperson. Dilley now houses adult women, and Karnes holds adult men, the spokesperson said.
The department refused, saying it didn’t have the authority to license facilities where children lived with their parents. For about a year, DFPS remained firm. But eventually, ICE wore the department’s leaders down. In 2015, DFPS issued a rule that said these detention centers could be licensed childcare centers.
“Any increase in the length of time that children are held in these types of facilities is harmful for them,” Wesevich said. “That’s why we resist licensure so much, and it’s why we believe DFPS should be on our side. … They’re not public safety, they’re not immigration enforcers, they’re not law enforcement officers—their only mission is supposed to be to protect children.”
