The Indian family of four – parents and two children – have completed almost 90 days in the Dilley Detention Center in Texas, with their future looking bleak and their health deteriorating. He was arrested during a routine check-in appointment in February and held at the controversial center, which reopened last year after the Donald Trump administration resumed family detention. YouTuber Ms. Rachel, who has been advocating for the closure of the ICE detention center, visited Dili and met with the Indian family.Ms. Rachel wrote, “I never thought I would be advocating to get families out of prison. It is an honor to meet this hard-working, compassionate family. Please free them. When Guri goes to the bathroom he is not receiving proper care for bleeding, which is dangerous medical neglect.”There is a 12 year old boy of Guri family who is having blood in his stool. This started before his detention, but he received no treatment after the entire family was taken away and thrown into a family prison. Her sister, 11-year-old Manpreet, is vomiting repeatedly because the tap water is hurting her stomach. “Both children were very kind but you could tell they were sad,” Ms Rachel wrote.Rachel wrote, “Their mother’s condition is deteriorating due to lack of proper medicines and treatment for diabetes and arthritis. Manpreet and Guri take great care of their mother and look after her as the pain has made it difficult for her to move around. Both the children are unable to sleep properly at night as the lights are on 24/7.” Meet his hard-working, kind family. It was devastating to see them all deteriorate from family detention, which is like prison.” The father, Jagadish, came to the US in 2022 seeking asylum. According to reports, he cited persistent threats and violence in his community in Punjab, India as the reason he converted from Sikhism to Catholicism. The family settled in Central Los Angeles, near Jagadish’s brother’s family.Gurvinder and the children follow the Sikh-Hindu religion and must eat vegetarian food on Tuesdays and Thursdays, but there is no vegetarian food option in the detention centre. That’s why they don’t eat anything on those days.“I worry that I came here to save myself, and I ruined three lives,” Jagadish said in an earlier Guardian interview.
