TWO-MONTH-OLD FIGHTING FOR LIFE IS DEPORTED WITH FAMILY
A baby facing life-threatening health issues has been deported, according to a Texas congressman.
Rep. Joaquin Castro said in an X post on Tuesday that 2-month-old Juan Nicolás, who was being detained at Dilley Detention Center and suffering from serious respiratory issues, was deported alongside his mother, father, and 16-month-old sister.
“They were abandoned across the border in Mexico,” Castro said, adding in a separate post and citing their attorney that “ICE deported the family with only the money that they had in their commissary—a total of $190” …
Nicolás’s case isn’t the first time CoreCivic has been scrutinized for its detainees’ lack of access to medical care.
The company has been under fire from advocates and legislators like Castro for its reported treatment of its child detainees and a recent outbreak of Measles in the center. RAICES, a legal advocacy group that assists some of those detained in Dilley, said it has received more than 700 complaints since August 2025 about delays in medical care.
