What this is
Ms. Rachel visited Texas immigration detention and found poor conditions for children, inspiring action to protect immigrant families in our Houston community.
Popular children's entertainer Ms. Rachel spoke with 9-year-old Deiver Henao Jimenez at the Dilley Immigration Center in South Texas. The conversation revealed troubling conditions that affect children and families in our immigration system.
During their video call, Deiver told Ms. Rachel he wished he could leave so he could attend his school's spelling bee. Ms. Rachel described the call as "unbelievably surreal" and said it felt like talking to someone in jail. The conditions at the facility include medical negligence, lights that never shut off, and moldy food.
Ms. Rachel has been using her platform to speak out for children's rights. She believes that caring for all children is a basic value. "It's political to believe that children are worthy of love and care, and that every child is equal," she told NBC News. Her work extends beyond entertainment to advocacy for children worldwide.
Our community can learn from Ms. Rachel's example of using our voices to protect children. Her advocacy shows how we can speak up for vulnerable children in our immigration system and work toward more humane treatment for all families.
