The American Immigration Lawyers Association said Wednesday that a migrant toddler died shortly after being released from an U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention center in Dilley, Tex. However the agency made clear that no child died while in its care. Hundreds of separated families have been reunited in recent days at Dilley and at least one other ICE family detention center. “That doesn’t make the allegation true, just impossible to refute.”Dilley is the largest of ICE’s three family detention centers, with a capacity of about 2,400 people. “The child died following her stay at an ICE Detention Center, as a result of possible negligent care and a respiratory illness she contracted from one of the other children,” the tweet said.
