1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.
Hundreds of kids are still detained.
We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵

Is it good when your YouTube ad—for a product with a name eerily similar to something a masked man famously used to kill a Sicilian—features an "ER doctor" (who appears to be evading authorities in the backyard of a Boca Raton repo) telling me in bold letters that it's totes safe?
