Dem’s stunning ideal standard for immigration detention conditions resurfaces amid Texas senate bid

During a 2019 interview following a visit to border enforcement, James Talarico, candidate for U.S. Senate in Texas, said he gauged the suitability of immigration detention facilities based on how he would treat his own family.

"I think I was struck by the conditions these folks were being held in," Talarico said.

"When I first walked in, I looked at one of the security monitors and saw these things strewn around the floor, and I realized they were human beings being held in these tiny rooms.
