Children "held like criminals" inside ICE detention center 09:26
Joel Andre is a 17-year-old immigrant from the Democratic Republic of Congo, a soccer-obsessed high school junior who now lives just outside of Portland, Maine. At the moment, for Joel and his younger sister, Estafania, homework is taking a back seat to this summer's World Cup – which is the perfect distraction at this dinner table for a family that badly needs one. "Every time I'm doing something, I always think about Olivia," said Joel.
Olivia is their 19-year-old sister. All three, along with their mother, Carine, were detained last November at the South Texas Family Residential Center in Dilley, Texas.
"In Dilley was very hard, very hard," said Joel. "Especially to kids, right? The food, the water you drink, even the water you shower, is the worst."
