911 calls reveal brutal condition for kids at Trump's detention centers
Newly released audio of 911 calls made from the immigration detention center in Dilley, Texas, reveals extremely young children in physical distress who have required serious medical attention. These incidents are occurring as fallout from President Donald Trump’s push for a mass deportation policy.
NBC News published the calls on Friday and they reveal the human toll of the Trump administration’s actions. In the audio, staffers at Dilley explain a series of dire situations to 911 operators.
For instance, in one case staffers report that that a 17-month-old child is suffering from respiratory distress, while in another call a 22-month-old child was having trouble breathing and had a reported oxygen level of 85%—levels below 95% are abnormal in children and brain activity can be affected at the 80-85% range.
Other calls reveal children with fevers, fractures, and other medical issues. NBC reported that in at least three cases children had to be flown from the Dilley center to a specialized pediatric hospital.
