YouTube Description
as posted by the channelWorms in food and psychological torment: that's how "Maria" a single Venezuelan mother, described life inside a federal family detention center in South Texas, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Ramos and his father were held after their arrest in Minneapolis last month.
Maria and her toddler son, both seeking asylum, were detained in November. MS NOW's Rosa Flores exclusively sat down with Maria who shared her experience in detention and the strict government supervision she and her son are under now.
The White House did not respond to MS NOW's request for comment.
DHS didn't respond to all of MS NOW's specific questions, but the agency sent a statement saying in part, "This is the best health care many of these individuals have received in their entire lives."
