We urge the freeing of children and families falsely imprisoned in the Don T. Hutto Prison (located in Taylor, Tx.) This is a national crisis. This prison has approximately 400 immigrant families most of them are children who have committed no crimes. The State of Texas has blocked a local bill HCR 64 which was blocked Rep. David Swinford out of Amarillo,TX. Children do not pose a threat to our national security.
The steady growth of this petition signifies a growing collective recognition that the detention of children is unacceptable. This momentum demonstrates that our concerns are reaching a broad and concerned public.

Imagine being a child locked up like a criminal for doing nothing. Swinford should be ashamed of himself.
