乔尔·安德烈是一名17岁的刚果民主共和国移民，也是一名痴迷足球的高三学生，现居住在缅因州波特兰市郊。目前，对乔尔和他的妹妹埃斯塔法尼亚来说，作业已经让位于今夏的世界杯——对于这个极度需要慰藉的家庭来说，世界杯是绝佳的分心方式。“我不管在做什么，总会想起奥利维亚，”乔尔说。
奥利维亚是他们19岁的姐姐。去年11月，三人连同他们的母亲卡琳在得克萨斯州迪利市的南德克萨斯州家庭住宿中心被拘留。
“在迪利的日子非常难熬，真的太难了，”乔尔说，“尤其是对孩子们来说，对吧？吃的食物、喝的水，甚至洗澡水，都糟糕透顶。”
但乔尔、埃斯塔法尼亚和他们的母亲在3月获释时，19岁的奥利维亚却不得不留下。乔尔说：“我们都在想，为什么？为什么是她？”
埃斯塔法尼亚说：“我希望我们能团聚，但我不知道什么时候、在哪里才能团聚。”

这个家庭在卡琳——一名活动人士——因公开反对执政政权遭到暴力对待后逃离了刚果，他们来到美国寻求政治庇护。
埃洛拉·慕克吉是哥伦比亚大学移民权利诊所主任，也是这个家庭的律师，她表示，如果卡琳和她的孩子们没有离开刚果民主共和国，他们很可能已经活不下去了。
据慕克吉介绍，这家人2022年抵达美国后，经过审查被释放，等待听证会，因为他们被认定不会构成威胁。他们配合了所有的报到要求。“他们出席了每一次预约，做了所有他们该做的事，”她说。
但这还不够。
2025年2月，一名法官下令将他们驱逐出境。由于害怕被送回刚果，他们试图前往加拿大，但被拒绝入境并遣返回美国，随后被送往迪利的拘留中心。

慕克吉曾进入过迪利拘留中心。“那是一系列拖车营房，”她说，“家属和孩子们都不断反映，他们无法获得足够的干净饮用水，在餐食中发现活虫、虫子和霉菌。灯光24小时亮着，让所有被关押在这里的人都很难入睡。”
数十名被拘留者在宣誓证词、书面信件和采访中都重复了这些说法。
哥伦比亚广播公司新闻
在特朗普总统的第二任期内，联邦移民当局拘留了超过6300名18岁以下的儿童，其中一些仅两个月大。近一半的儿童被关押在迪利拘留中心。其中97%没有犯罪记录。
“这是我能想到的美国唯一一个关押完全无辜的年幼儿童的地方，”华金·卡斯特罗众议员说，“他们没有把这些寻求庇护者当成经过审查入境的人来对待，而是把他们当成罪犯。”这位来自圣安东尼奥的民主党众议员呼吁关闭迪利拘留中心。
当被问及设置迪利拘留中心这种条件的政策目标可能是什么时，卡斯特罗回答说：“我认为这是为了传递一个非常恶劣的信息：我们不想要你们在这里，你们不受欢迎。”
迪利拘留中心于2014年开放。奥巴马总统打算将那些被抓到非法越过南部边境的移民家庭关押在这里。十年后，拜登总统关闭了该中心。
特朗普总统2025年重新开放迪利拘留中心后，一家营利性公司CoreCivic获得了一份每年价值1.8亿美元的运营合同。
CoreCivic否认迪利拘留中心存在任何不合格的护理或条件，并告诉《周日晨报》：“您的调查中描述的情况并不反映迪利移民处理中心的运营、标准或提供的护理。” 完整声明见下文。

乔尔、埃斯塔法尼亚和卡琳在迪利拘留中心被关押了近四个月。“就我们所经历的一切而言，”埃斯塔法尼亚说，“去迪利这件事，真的伤透了我们的心。”
仅这一点就违反了所谓的《弗洛雷斯和解协议》，这项已实施近30年的联邦命令要求迅速释放儿童。一家联邦法院曾裁定，这意味着拘留时间不得超过20天。
当被问及是否曾认为有法律可以防止他们在迪利拘留中心被关押超过20天时，乔尔回答说：“是的。但他们违反了所有这些法律。”
尽管一家联邦法院驳回了白宫终止《弗洛雷斯和解协议》的努力，但政府正在上诉。
迪利拘留中心内部
过去一周，我们和卡斯特罗众议员一同前往迪利，那里的家庭还抱怨缺乏医疗保健，孩子们也无法接受教育。“这些孩子抱着我的腿，求我把他们救出去，”卡斯特罗说，“他们才四岁、六岁，基本上就像被关在拖车监狱里。”
我们的哥伦比亚广播公司新闻摄制组只到达了正门。迪利拘留中心的规定禁止记者进入。即使是像美国众议院议员这样获准进入的人，也必须在入场时上交手机，这意味着迪利拘留中心内有近100名儿童，但没有一张能展示他们生活条件的照片。

这是特朗普总统连任以来卡斯特罗第六次前往迪利。离开时他说：“他们告诉我们，里面有三名不到三岁的孩子。我们见到了一名15岁的男孩，他说他已经好几天没吃东西了，因为没有胃口，他很抑郁。”
我问：“您是否对连您都不能使用相机、手机感到惊讶？”
“是的，我很惊讶我们居然任由他们这么做，”卡斯特罗回答，“我很惊讶我们没有采取更坚定的立场，说当一群人，包括孩子，都没有犯下任何罪行时，我们不会容忍这种情况，我们应该能够了解里面发生的事情。”
根据2027年预算提案，白宫希望在家庭拘留中心增加3万个床位。
我们向国土安全部提出了讨论迪利拘留中心的请求，但遭到拒绝。但他们确实提供了一份书面声明：“又是一天，又是一起关于南德克萨斯州家庭住宿中心的骗局……任何声称ICE拘留设施条件不达标的说法都是虚假的。所有被拘留者都能获得适当的膳食、优质的水、毯子和医疗服务。” 声明还将《弗洛雷斯和解协议》称为“左翼的工具”。完整声明见下文。
埃洛拉·慕克吉说：“美国人还不知道迪利家庭拘留中心里正在发生什么。一旦更多人了解真相，人们就会有动力站出来反对那里的虐待行为。”
至于乔尔、埃斯塔法尼亚和卡琳，当我们还在缅因州和他们在一起时，他们接到了电话：奥利维亚在被关押五个多月后将被释放。
几天后，在机场的团聚让这个家庭的迪利故事有了比大多数人都更圆满的结局。

尽管华金·卡斯特罗和其他人都为这个家庭感到高兴，但他表示这只是个例，而非普遍情况。“政府知道他们不是罪犯，但还是把他们当成罪犯一样关押，”他说。
而卡斯特罗众议员认为，我们应该关注那些我们看不到的地方：“要真正了解迪利拘留中心里发生的事情，我们必须能够看到围墙背后的情况。围墙背后隐藏着暴行。”
国土安全部完整声明
以下是国土安全部发言人向《周日晨报》提供的声明：
“又是一天，又是一起关于南德克萨斯州家庭住宿中心的骗局。几乎每天，这个办公室都要回应媒体关于非法移民拘留中心的虚假指控。媒体显然迫切希望这个设施存在不人道条件的指控成真。以下是事实：迪利符合联邦拘留标准，实际上会定期接受审计和检查。媒体何时才能停止散布关于非法移民拘留中心的骗局，转而关注非法移民犯罪的美国受害者？
“任何声称ICE拘留设施条件不达标的说法都是虚假的。所有被拘留者都能获得适当的膳食、优质的水、毯子、医疗服务，并有机会与家人和律师沟通。ICE的拘留标准高于大多数关押美国公民的美国监狱。从移民进入ICE监管的那一刻起，就提供全面的医疗护理，这是一项长期惯例。这包括在抵达每个拘留设施后的12小时内进行医疗、牙科和心理健康 intake 筛查，在进入ICE监管或抵达设施后的14天内进行全面健康评估，以及获得医疗预约和24小时紧急护理。这可能是许多移民一生中接受过的最好的医疗服务。膳食由营养师认证。所有这些都由美国纳税人出资。
“居住在该设施的儿童可以获得教育节目、适合年龄的书籍和玩具，以及户外活动。婴儿护理包包括配方奶粉、婴儿食品、奶瓶、尿布、湿巾和卫生用品；设施还提供学饮杯和婴儿床。必要时，工作人员还会提供特殊饮食和过敏 accommodations。
“多年来，《弗洛雷斯同意令》一直是左翼的工具，违背法律，浪费宝贵的美国纳税人资金。
“父母可以选择是否与孩子一起被驱逐，否则ICE将把孩子安置在父母指定的安全人员处。这与历届政府的移民执法政策一致。
“国土安全部认真对待保护儿童的责任，并将继续与联邦执法部门合作，确保儿童的安全和保护。非法入境的父母可以掌控自己的离境。通过CBP Home应用程序，特朗普政府正在为非法入境的父母提供机会，完全掌控自己的离境并自行遣返，有可能以合法方式返回，实现美国梦。该应用程序免费，适用于所有移动设备。”
CoreCivic完整声明
以下是CoreCivic公共事务经理布莱恩·托德向《周日晨报》提供的声明：
“对CoreCivic来说，没有什么比我们照料的人员的健康、安全和福祉更重要。您的调查中描述的情况并不反映迪利移民处理中心（DIPC）的运营、标准或提供的护理。
“我们在下面提供的回应信息可独立验证，直接与您的调查中的指控相矛盾。我们欢迎有机会在播出前审查哥伦比亚广播公司《周日晨报》收集的任何被认为推翻这一记录的证据。
“迪利移民处理中心使用的饮用水与当地公用事业公司供应给周边社区的饮用水相同。”迪利市水务部门每月对迪利移民处理中心的供水进行独立检测，以验证其饮用安全和清洁。根据联邦《安全饮用水法》，该市每年还会提供可公开查阅的消费者信心水质报告。德克萨斯州环境质量委员会的州官员也进行了自己的评估，确认饮用水安全清洁。作为额外措施，设施内饮用水取水点配备了过滤器，以确保口感稳定。
“我们在迪利移民处理中心每天提供三顿营养丰富的餐食，包括水果和蔬菜，菜单由注册营养师审核批准。”在宗教饮食住宿方面，迪利移民处理中心会根据情况提供清真、犹太洁食和其他宗教饮食选项。所谓宗教饮食需求未得到满足的说法是虚假的，与我们有记录的做法不符。
“工作人员经常在迪利移民处理中心饮用这里的水、食用这里的餐食。”
“迪利移民处理中心的儿童及其家属接受的医疗保健严谨、符合临床标准、受联邦监督，并以尊严提供。”居民可获得：
- 由儿科培训的医护人员及时进行医疗评估，包括普通儿科医生、儿童和青少年精神病医生、治疗师和心理学家。
- 入院时使用经过验证的临床工具进行创伤知情心理健康筛查，并进行持续重新评估和获得持续支持的途径。
- 由护士、牙医、高级执业医师和专家组成的跨学科团队提供的护理，采用医疗之家模式确保护理的连续性。
“我们建议您参考CoreCivic首席医疗官克里斯汀·多斯博士的全面声明，其中提供了关于迪利移民处理中心提供的护理的更多细节。
“民主党众议员亨利·库埃拉尔最近参观了迪利移民处理中心，并在该Facebook帖子的4分44秒处开始评论了包括食物、水和医疗保健在内的多个问题。
“目前，教育工作人员正在为设施内的儿童开展适合年龄的教育项目和活动。所有教育工作者都会双语，设施还可根据需要提供额外的语言服务。CoreCivic已敲定进一步扩展教育项目的计划，预计所有教育要求将在7月中旬前得到满足。
“我们也鼓励您参观该设施的虚拟导览。
“我们还建议您点击以下链接，该链接直接回应了您在调查中提出的迪利移民处理中心的许多担忧——https://www.corecivic.com/news/setting-the-record-straight-dilley-immigration-processing-center
“值得注意的是，家庭住宿中心自奥巴马政府以来一直在联邦授权下运营，历经两党多届政府。CoreCivic不制定或执行移民法。我们所做的——也是我们承诺的——是确保在法律执行期间，每一位在我们照料下的人都能获得安全、人道和适当的待遇。我们在此提供的记录反映了这一承诺。”

Children “held like criminals” inside ICE detention center
2026-05-31 9:52 AM EDT / CBS News
Joel Andre is a 17-year-old immigrant from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a soccer-obsessed high school junior who now lives just outside of Portland, Maine. At the moment, for Joel and his younger sister, Estafania, homework is taking a back seat to this summer’s World Cup – which is the perfect distraction at this dinner table for a family that badly needs one. “Every time I’m doing something, I always think about Olivia,” said Joel.
Olivia is their 19-year-old sister. All three, along with their mother, Carine, were detained last November at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas.
“In Dilley was very hard, very hard,” said Joel. “Especially to kids, right? The food, the water you drink, even the water you shower, is the worst.”
But when Joel, Estafania and their mother were released in March, Olivia, at 19 years old, had to stay. Joel said, “We all went like, why? Why?”
Estafania said, “I have a hope that we can all be together, but I don’t know when, where.”

The family had fled the Congo after Carine, an activist, was brutalized for speaking out against the ruling regime. They came here seeking political asylum.
Elora Mukherjee, director of the Immigrants Rights Clinic at Columbia University, and the family’s lawyer, says if Carine and her children did not leave the DRC, chances are they would not be alive.
According to Mukherjee, when the family arrived in 2022, they were vetted and released to await their hearing after they were deemed to pose no threat. They complied with all their check-ins. “They showed up for every single appointment, and did everything they were supposed to do,” she said.
But it wasn’t enough.
In February of 2025, a judge ordered them deported. Scared of being sent back to the Congo, they tried to go to Canada, but were denied entry and sent back to the U.S., where they were then sent to Dilley.

Mukherjee has been inside Dilley. “It is a series of trailers,” she said. “Families and children alike consistently report that they do not have access to sufficient clean drinking water, that they found live worms, bugs and mold in their meals. The lights are on 24/7, making it really difficult for everyone detained there to sleep.”
Those accounts have been repeated by dozens of detainees in sworn testimony, written letters, and interviews.
CBS News
More than 6,300 children under 18, some as young as two months old, have been detained by federal immigration authorities during President Trump’s second term. Nearly half have been detained at Dilley. Ninety-seven percent had no criminal record.
“It’s the only place I can think of in America where we imprison young children who have done absolutely nothing wrong,” said Congressman Joaquin Castro. “Instead of treating them like asylum seekers who were vetted to come into the country, they’re treating them like criminals.” The Democrat Representative from San Antonio is calling for Dilley to be shut down.
Asked what the policy objective could be for creating conditions such as those reported from inside Dilley, Castro replied, “I think it’s meant to send a very ugly message, that we don’t want you here, that you’re not welcome.”
Dilley opened in 2014. President Obama intended to hold migrant families there who’d been caught crossing the southern border illegally. President Biden closed it a decade later.
When President Trump reopened Dilley in 2025, a for-profit company, CoreCivic, was given a contract worth $180 million annually to run it.
CoreCivic denies the charges of any substandard care or conditions at Dilley, telling “Sunday Morning,” “The conditions described in your inquiry do not reflect the operations, standards or care provided at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center.” See full statement below.
Joel, Estafania and Carine. CBS News
Joel, Estafania and Carine were held at Dilley for almost four months. “For, like, all we’ve been through,” said Estafania, “going to Dilley just, like, broke our hearts.”
That alone violated something called the Flores Settlement, a federal order that’s been in place for nearly 30 years requiring the prompt release of children. One federal court has said that means no more than 20 days.
Asked if he’d thought that there were laws in place that would prevent them from being held in Dilley more than 20 days, Joel replied, “Yes. But they broke all those laws.”
While a federal court has rejected a White House effort to terminate the Flores Settlement, the administration is appealing.
Inside Dilley
This past week, we went with Congressman Castro to Dilley, where families also complain about a lack of health care and a lack education for their kids. “These kids, they’re hugging my leg and they’re asking me to get ’em outta there,” Castro said. “I mean, they are four years old, six years old, and they’re basically in a trailer prison.”
Our CBS News crew got as far as the front gate. The restrictions in place at Dilley say no reporters are allowed. And even those who do get in, like Members of the U.S. House of Representatives, have to surrender their phones upon entry, meaning there are somewhere near 100 children inside Dilley – and not one picture of the conditions in which they live.

It was Castro’s sixth trip to Dilley since President Trump returned to office. Upon leaving, he said, “They told us that there are three kids who are under the age of three. We met with a 15-year old boy, he said that he hasn’t eaten in days because he doesn’t feel like eating, he’s depressed.”
I asked, “Are you surprised that even you can’t use your camera, use your phone?”
“Yeah, I’m surprised that we let them get away with this,” Castro replied. “I’m surprised that we have not taken a stronger stand and said, when you’ve got a group of people, including kids, that have committed no crime, we’re not gonna put up with that, we are going to be able to see what’s going on.”
According to its 2027 budget proposal, the White House wants to add 30,000 more beds in family detention centers.
Our requests to the Department of Homeland Security to discuss Dilley were denied. But they did provide a written statement: “Another day and another hoax about the South Texas Family Residential Center … Any claim that there are subprime conditions at ICE detention facilities is FALSE. All detainees are provided with proper meals, quality water, blankets, medical treatment.” The statement also called the Flores Settlement “a tool of the left.” See full statement below.
Elora Mukherjee said, “Americans don’t yet know what is happening at the Family Detention Center in Dilley. And once more people know, people will feel motivated to speak out against the abuses there.”
As for Joel, Estafania and Carine, while we were still with them in Maine, they got the call: Olivia would be released, after more than five months in detention.
A few days later, an airport reunion gave this family’s Dilley story a happier ending than most.

While Joaquin Castro and others share the family’s joy, he says this is the exception, not the rule. “The government knows they’re not criminals, and yet they’re being held like criminals,” he said.
And it’s what we can’t see where Congressman Castro thinks we should train our focus: “To really understand that’s going on with Dilley, we gotta be able to see what’s going on behind those walls. There’s a brutality behind those walls.”
Full statement from DHS
The following statement was provided to “Sunday Morning” by a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security:
“Another day and another hoax about the South Texas Family Residential Center. Nearly every single day, this office responds to media questions on FALSE allegations about illegal alien detention centers. The media is clearly desperate for these allegations of inhumane conditions at this facility to be true. Here are the facts: Dilley does meet federal detention standards and actually undergoes regular audits and inspections. When will the media stop peddling hoaxes about illegal alien detention centers and start focusing on American victims of illegal alien crime?
“Any claim that there are subprime conditions at ICE detention facilities is FALSE. All detainees are provided with proper meals, quality water, blankets, medical treatment, and have opportunities to communicate with their family members and lawyers. ICE has higher detention standards than most U.S. prisons that hold actual U.S. citizens. It is a longstanding practice to provide comprehensive medical care from the moment an alien enters ICE custody. This includes medical, dental, and mental health intake screening within 12 hours of arriving at each detention facility, a full health assessment within 14 days of entering ICE custody or arrival at a facility, and access to medical appointments and 24-hour emergency care. This is the best healthcare many aliens have received in their entire lives. Meals are certified by dieticians. All of this is funded the by the U.S. taxpayer.
“Children residing in the facility have access to educational programming, age-appropriate books and toys, and outdoor activities. Infant care packages include formula, baby food, bottles, diapers, wipes and hygiene items; the facility also provides sippy cups and cribs. Staff also provide for special diets and allergy accommodations when necessary.
“For years, the Flores consent decree has been a tool of the left that is antithetical to the law and wastes valuable U.S. taxpayer funded resources.
“Parents have a choice if they want to be removed with their children or ICE will place the children with a safe person the parent designates. This is consistent with past administrations’ immigration enforcement.
“DHS takes its responsibility to protect children seriously and will continue to work with federal law enforcement to ensure that children are safe and protected. Parents, who are here illegally, can take control of their departure. Through the CBP Home App, the Trump Administration is giving parents illegally in the country a chance to take full control of their departure and self-deport, with the potential ability to return the legal, right way and come back to live the American dream. It is free and available for all mobile devices.”
Full statement from CoreCivic
The following statement was provided to “Sunday Morning” by Brian Todd, manager, Public Affairs, at CoreCivic:
“Nothing matters more to CoreCivic than the health, safety and well-being of the people in our care. The conditions described in your inquiry do not reflect the operations, standards or care provided at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center (DIPC).
“The responsive information we have provided below is independently verifiable and directly contradicts the allegations in your inquiry. We would welcome the opportunity to review any evidence CBS Sunday Morning has gathered that it believes supersedes this record before broadcast.
“DIPC gets the same clean drinking water the local utility supplies to the surrounding community.The City of Dilley Water Department conducts monthly independent tests on DIPC’s water supply to verify its safety and cleanliness for drinking. Consumer Confidence water quality reports, which are available for public review, are also provided annually by the City, consistent with the federal Safe Drinking Water Act. State officials at the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality have also performed their own assessments, confirming that the water is safe and clean for consumption. As an added measure, locations where drinking water is accessed at the facility are equipped with filters to help ensure consistent taste quality.
“We provide three nutritious meals daily at DIPC, including fruits and vegetables, with menus reviewed and approved by a registered dietitian. On religious dietary accommodations, DIPC provides halal, kosher and other religious dietary options as appropriate. The suggestion that religious dietary needs are being denied is false and not consistent with our documented practices.
“Staff routinely drink the water and eat the meals at DIPC.
“The children and their families at DIPC receive health care that is clinically rigorous, federally overseen and delivered with dignity.Residents receive:
- Timely medical evaluation by providers trained in pediatrics, including general pediatricians, child and adolescent psychiatrists, therapists and psychologists.
- Trauma-informed mental health screeningat intake, using validated clinical tools, with ongoing reassessment and access to continued support.
- Care froman interdisciplinary team, including nurses, dentists, advanced practice providers and specialists, operating within a medical home model to ensure continuity of care.
“We would direct you to this comprehensive statement from CoreCivic’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Kristen Dauss, which provides additional detail on the care provided at DIPC.
“Democratic U.S. Representative Henry Cuellarrecently visited the DIPC and comments on a number of these issues, includingfood, water and medical care, beginning at 4:44 in this Facebook post.
“Currently,staff educators are facilitating age-appropriate educational programsand activities for children housed at the facility. All educators are bilingual, and additional language services are available at the facility based on any needs. CoreCivic has finalized plans to further expand educational program offerings, with the expectation that all educational requirements will be fulfilled by mid-July.
“We also encourage you to take thisvirtual tourof the facility.
“We also point you to the following link, which directlyaddresses many of the concernsat DIPC you raised in your inquiry – https://www.corecivic.com/news/setting-the-record-straight-dilley-immigration-processing-center
“It’s worth noting that family residential centers have operated under federal authority since the Obama administration, across administrations of both parties. CoreCivic does not set or enforce immigration law. What we do — and what we’re committed to — is ensuring that every person in our care receives safe, humane and appropriate treatment while that law is administered. The record we have provided here reflects that commitment.”
