North Texas family after son’s death: ICE ‘killed him when they took his father’
By Ciara McCarthy


There are nearly 66,000 people in ICE detention as of Nov. 30, according to data from the Transactional Records Access Clearinghouse. Texas is housing more immigration detainees than any other state, according to TRAC, with nearly 18,000 people detained in the state as of November. Immigration authorities have come under increased scrutiny in the U.S. after federal agents fatally shot Alex Pretti, a protestor, in Minneapolis on Saturday.
