Emergency calls from Oct 2025–Feb 2026 reveal medical crises among detained children and pregnant women at a Texas facility, with advocates citing inadequate care and delayed treatment.

Emergency 911 calls from October 2025 to February 2026 at the Dilley family detention center in Texas reveal multiple medical emergencies involving detained children and pregnant women, including respiratory distress, seizures, and high fevers, with staff reporting low oxygen levels and lethargy. Advocates, lawmakers, and medical professionals, including Rep. Joaquin Castro and pediatrician Dr. Anita Patel, have raised alarms over inadequate care, delayed responses, and denied treatment, citing cases of infants contracting COVID-19 and RSV. The Department of Homeland Security maintains that detainees have access to on-site medical providers and calls detention a voluntary choice, urging families to use the CBP Home app for return. The facility, which reopened in 2025 and holds about 1,400 people, remains under scrutiny amid growing concerns over medical standards and humanitarian conditions.
