Ms Rachel speaks out against ICE facility detaining children in Texas

Ms. Rachel is using her platform to call for the closure of an immigration detention center in Texas that houses children and families.

The popular children’s content creator has been advocating against the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, where U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) detains families, including young children.

Speaking about her involvement, Ms. Rachel made her stance clear, saying, “I am political. It’s political to believe that children should not be in cages.”

She added that her goal is to help ensure families are reunited and no longer held in detention. “I want to make sure that kids and their parents are back together,” she said, emphasizing the humanitarian focus of her advocacy.

The issue has gained wider attention following viral video calls and public conversations with detained children, which have drawn national scrutiny toward conditions at the facility.

The Dilley center, one of the largest family immigration detention facilities in the U.S., has long faced criticism from advocacy groups and lawmakers over the treatment of detainees, particularly children.

Ms. Rachel’s comments add to growing public debate around immigration policies and the detention of families, as calls for reform and alternative solutions continue to intensify.
