The Houston Chronicle features an op-ed by Roger Ernesto La O Muñoz, a Cuban asylum seeker who is currently detained in the Joe Corley Detention Facility in Conroe, Texas. As a college graduate with a degree in hygiene and epidemiology, he writes on behalf of 55 fellow detainees to send a message to the president, immigration judges, human rights organizations, and the American public that he and the other detainees find themselves “in a concentration camp with death orders from COVID-19.”

In August 2019, a hotline run by the nonprofit Freedom for Immigrants was shut down shortly after it was featured in the Netflix show Orange is the New Black. The hotline was one on a list of calls detainees could make for free and without being monitored. ICE had said the hotline was shut down because the nonprofit used the line to have 3-way calls with detainees and their families, which was prohibited. On February 11, a federal judge issued a preliminary injunction and ordered the government to reinstate the hotline. It is unclear what the timeline for the restoration will be.
