Last night, Safe Haven handled jail support alongside friends and family members of ICE observers and community members who had been detained by DHS after the murder of Alex Pretti.

The situation at Dilley detention centre in Texas hasn't improved. Attorney Eric Lee was given a drawing made today by a 5 year old girl (a member of the El Gamal family, who've been held there for eight months despite having committed no crime).
This child turned 5 in detention and has spent almost 20% of her life in jail.

Also in Texas, people at the Prairieland ICE Concentration Camp outside of Dallas, TX are freezing to death as ICE refuses to turn on the facilities heating despite it being 13Β°F (8Β°F with wind chill).
The same is happening in centres across the country, including New York.
It's far from the only abuse of human rights happening in these places:
