| 2 | Tony Cheek | The children at the T. Don Hutto Residential Center in Taylor, 35 miles northeast of Austin, live in cells; they wear uniforms and receive inadequate medical and educational services, are often cold and hungry, separated from their parents as punishment, and until recently received one hour of schooling per day and rarely played outside. They are guilty of no crimes, and endanger no one. Their parents, who are incarcerated here because they are seeking asylum after fleeing such circumstances as war, torture, political persecution and rape, or are accused of violating civil immigration laws, have committed no crimes. ... Teachers at the center are not required to be licensed in Texas, and the state’s family welfare agency exempted Hutto from child care licensing requirements. Along with one other, less prison-like facility in Pennsylvania, Hutto is operated without official regulations. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the arm of Homeland Security that runs the two centers, relies on custody rules designed for inmates. |

| 5 | Anita Lopez | I am all for free the children at Hutto. |
| 6 | Mrs. Bailey | This atrocity cannot continue. Free the children now. |
| 7 | Bob Quasius | There is no reason to keep children in a prison setting unless they are a danger to others or themselves. Our great nation can find another way to treat immigration detainee children humanely, with justice and mercy. |
| 8 | Bruce Bossow | It doesn't matter what side of the immigration issue you are on, the fact that government is spending $2.8 million on month detaining the children tat HUTTO seems absurd to me. Children do not pose a threat to our nation. The resources should be used in the event of a real terrorist on our territory. Another bureaucracy without a check and balance system. Free the children! |
