A sixteen-year-old girl named Emely broke down in tears as she shared how a routine traffic stop spiraled into family detention at the Dilley facility — the only U.S. center holding families — where she, her friend, and later her father were all separated and traumatized. Facing anxiety and depression behind bars, Emely couldn’t even find out where her friend was being held.
