911 calls offer glimpse of medical emergencies at family ICE detention center

Medical emergencies involving children and pregnant women held at a for-profit immigration detention center in Texas occur multiple times a month, according to 911 recordings and documents obtained by the Scripps News investigative team. The calls to 911 are from staff at the family detention center in Dilley, Texas, that opened in March of 2025. Some of the calls are for babies detained at Dilley, including a request for an ambulance for a two-month-old named Juan Nicolas. He was taken to a local emergency room with breathing difficulties. Another call went out for medics to help a one-year-old struggling to breathe. A third emergency call references a child with dangerously low oxygen levels. The Department of Homeland Security says any claim about inhumane conditions at ICE detention centers is false. CoreCivic, the for-profit company that owns and operates Dilley, says the health of detainees is a priority. A company website says there are 120 medical professionals on site. ------------------------------------- Join our newsletter at https://bit.ly/2q1tepr Follow us on Facebook:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on Twitter:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on Instagram:   / scrippsnews   Follow us on TikTok:   / scrippsnews
