Beware Indians: US Detention Centers Are Terrifying

It is already known that the immigration control authorities in the United States have been reprimanding and detaining individuals at an elevated pace. In this context, a series of videos involving the detention centres in the United States has now started to go viral on social media.

A video circulating on social media shows dozens of immigrant families protesting outside a detention facility in the US state of Texas, demanding answers over the detention of a 5 year old Ecuadorian boy and his father. According to reports, the child and his father were detained in Minnesota last week and later transferred to the Texas facility, triggering concern and anger among immigrant rights groups and families.

In the footage, protesters can be seen holding placards, chanting slogans, and urging authorities to release the child and reunite him with his family.

Many families at the protest said they fear that young children are being caught in harsh immigration enforcement actions without clear information being shared with relatives or legal representatives. Activists claim the boy was separated from other family members during the detention process, adding to the emotional distress.

Immigration advocates have questioned the decision to move a minor across states after detention, saying such actions can traumatize children and violate basic humanitarian principles. They are calling on US authorities to ensure transparency, provide legal access, and prioritize the welfare of children in immigration custody.

Officials have not yet released detailed information about the case. Meanwhile, protests continue, with families and supporters demanding immediate intervention, compassionate treatment, and the release of children from detention facilities.
