Seven year old Charlotte is currently locked up at a remote Texas jail for immigrant kids and families. 

I’m furious and you should be too.

Earlier this year, Charlotte celebrated her seventh birthday at Disneyland. She loves Minnie Mouse, Stitch, and Toy Story.
Today, she’s locked inside the Dilley family detention center in Texas, more than 600 miles from her home in New Orleans.

Her mother, Karen, came to this country legally. She worked hard, followed the rules, and built a life for her daughter. 
Then ICE detained her after she dropped Charlotte off at school.

This is a child. Not a criminal. Not a political talking point. A little girl who deserves to be home.

I cannot imagine the fear Karen feels watching her daughter endure this. And I cannot accept that this is happening to children in our country.

Please don’t look away. Share Charlotte’s story and file a formal complain with CoreCivic (I promise you they HATE this!) www.corecivic.com/residentconcernline

Kids should be at Disney not Dilley (a private prison for babies, children, and parents). 

Charlotte must freed. Dilley must be shut down. And America must stop locking up immigrant families for good.

Enough is enough.

Karen and Charlotte’s community is fighting to bring them home.

They deserve to be heard. They deserve to be free.
