Kids Beg for Freedom in Letters From Inside ICE Detention Center: Please Get Me Out of Here'

(AP Photo/Eric Gay) Handwritten letters from children out of a Texas immigration detention center published by ProPublica on Monday offer a rare and unsettling glimpse into the lives of children caught up in the Trump administration's immigration crackdown. The letters, obtained by the outlet in mid-January, were written after reporter Mica Rosenberg asked detained parents at Dilley Immigration Processing Center whether their children would be willing to describe their experiences through writing or drawings. One detainee collected the letters and carried them out upon their release from the Dilley facility on January 20, saying the parents understood the material would be shared publicly with a journalist.
