An 18-month-old girl named Amalia was returned to immigration custody and denied medication after being hospitalized with a life-threatening respiratory illness, according to a lawsuit filed in Texas. The family, originally from Venezuela, was detained in December and held at a facility in Dilley, Texas, where Amalia fell seriously ill and was later diagnosed with several respiratory infections. After her release from the hospital, authorities allegedly confiscated her prescribed medication and nutritional supplements. The lawsuit highlights broader concerns about inadequate medical care, food, and water for children and families detained at the Dilley facility, with advocates calling for their release.
