Only recently started watching an ICE report map (rather than just happening upon posts) and, like, I knew it was bad but I didn't realize how bad.

The public made noise for Liam Ramos and it got him released from Dilley.
Now we must make noise for 7 year old Diana Crespo.
Her parents were taking her for emergency medical care when ICE grabbed them, and she’s rotting in the camp sick and exposed to measles.
