31 children are expected to be separated from their dads on December the 2nd. 8 of the detainees have been here for 18+ years, and several arrived as kids.

One detainee has attempted suicide, but was immediately returned to the facility.

These people mostly have drug-related convictions. According to the Lammy Review, people of colour are 240% more likely to be convicted for drug offences than their white counterparts.
