Two Democratic members of Congress visited the ICE family detention center in Dilley, Texas, where five-year-old Liam Ramos is being detained, along with many other children and families. Over the weekend, hundreds inside the facility protested their conditions and treatment in a display of defiance. Amna Nawaz spoke with immigration attorney Eric Lee, who was at the center that day.
