Teen, Father Released After 3 Weeks Detained | San Antonio News
Description
A 16-year-old Colombian student and her father, detained for over three weeks at a Texas immigration facility after a traffic stop, have been released — thanks in part to intervention by U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, who met them, shared their emotional toll, and pushed for their freedom. Though officials say the father entered illegally, the family has now reunited with the mother and younger siblings, with their asylum case still pending — and their next court date not until 2028. This case underscores growing concerns about conditions at detention centers housing hundreds, including minors, despite claims of basic care.
