CHILDREN CONFINED- Immigrant Detention at Hutto

This new Freedom Files video short provides a shocking glimpse into conditions at a Texas facility to detain immigrants run by the Department of Homeland Security. Of the approximately 400 detainees at the Hutto Detention Facility, many are children who belong to refugee families seeking political asylum in the U.S. after escaping persecution in their country of origin.

To find out more about The Freedom Files, the ACLU's lawsuits against federal officials on the conditions at Hutto, and the children detained there, go to aclu.tv/hutto

illegal or NOT people are not animals ! ! ! i do not agree with the way it impacts or economy or taxes BUT this is cruel disgusting and unfair wtf kind of place are we running here . This nation is full of many different people trying to live better lives where do u think the majority of us are from? our parent and grand parents. this is morally WRONG and i HATE it.

This is Fucked up! These people just seek a better life as your ancestors did. These people work hard and have helped build our nation. How many Latinos are in the military fighting for you. I strongly disagree with children being treated this way. They have no say for the Freedom their parents were seeking. So to you racist idiots. SUCK MY BIG BROWN COCK!

@jeromeattrailridge Being in violation of immigration laws is not a crime!!! It is a civil violation (violations of administrative matters ie contempt of court) so know your facts! & too lazy to fight for their rights in their own countries? The US creates some of the poor economic/violent conditions in their countries! Some of these people are asylum seekers who have experienced unimaginable traumas such as rape and torture. Theyre coming here to protect themselves and their children!

@ChromeCrumpet It is illegal to help them beyond basic human rights. If you see that someone has given them employment then that is a crime and should be reported. In some states it is illegal to rent them housing without proper documentation. Find out what the laws are in your state and report as many as you can. There are so many here now that the federal gov. is struggling to keep up. We need to help by pointing them in the right direction, and take back our communities.

Criminals who put there families at risk. Typical criminal behavior.If your first act in this country is an illegal one then you get what you deserve. These people are to lazy to fight for their rights in their own countries. I guess their opinion is that it is better to be a lazy criminal here in the US then to be a person of honor in their own country. If they want to live like us then they need to become a citizen, and not a criminal. Immigrants are fine we just don't need criminals here.

Yes, it was awful, I broke hundreds of laws and got caught, and I am now going through post traumatic stress disorder. So, you need to buy my smelly mexican acting skills, and make me a legal citizen now, or else i will just keep taking your money in forms of welfare, food stamps, and having numerous anchor babies.

i don't believe any human is illegal

@Vsn211 Thats your best defense? Dont worry, this type of input is typical of your creed.

[ChromeCrumpet]

@Freedan111 Why do the illegals get any rights at all? They should be denied education, healthcare and welfare checks since they pay nothing for them and they are ILLEGAL. Shouldent it be against the law to help them?

[ChromeCrumpet]

@Freedan111 We should build a new freight line that goes directly to mexico so that we can get them out quicker.

@Desireex0x0

Legal Immigrants I have no problems with, Illegal Immigrants needs to be shot at the border. No Illegals means no said sob stories of how families are being seperated because the fucking parents were to fucking lazy to apply for propper immigrantion status.
