From Capitol Hill to Dilley Detention Center: The Story of the Gámez-Cuéllar Family.

I met Antonio and Caleb Gámez-Cuéllar at a Congressional event recognizing the musical excellence of the Mariachi Oro vocalists. The event was hosted by their hometown Congresswoman Monica De La Cruz. Right now, they are being imprisoned by ICE. Where is their Congresswoman now? How are they good enough, safe enough, excellent enough to perform at the Capitol and visit the White House but still deserve to be locked up at Dilley? The entire Gámez-Cuéllar family did everything the right way. The applied for and were granted asylum. They attended every court date and immigration check-in. ICE detained them anyway, sending the two youngest boys and their parents to the Dilley trailer prison. The oldest, 18-year old Antonio, was sent to an adult facility. ICE is ripping apart families. During my inspection to the Dilley trailer prison on Monday, I will check on the safety of the Gámez-Cuéllar family and do everything in my power to make sure they return home.
