Dilley Detention Center Handling of Children

There is reporting from observers like Jessica Craven and Dr. Anita Patel, in communication with Rep Castro and Crockett, to get to the bottom of what is going on the Dilley Detention Facility in Dilly, Texas.
At issue is the treatment of pregnant women and infants and even more so are concerns that teenage girls are being sequestered in a specific area of the facility named the "Blue Butterfly zone". An area in which outside doctors and even members of Congress are not allowed access. This has caused growing concern as to why they are being kept away from the other population and if they are actually safe and not being exploited.
While these reports are not confirmed it is causing a lot of questions and demands for clear, unambiguous answers as to if that is true and why.
We need to demand our representatives in Congress demand these answers IMMEDIATELY a complete and unambiguous accounting for every single human being in that facility. As well as immediate access to the entire facility for members of Congress without notice.

We cannot allow these children to disappear into the void with little to no accountability.

SOAR (formerly Victims Refuse Silence) incorporated as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in 2015. But the work truly took shape when founder Virginia Giuffre underwent her own personal transformation from victim to survivor.

Google it. These sex trafficking monsters are placing teenagers in a special concentration camp area dubbed blue butterfly. Fucking sick.
