Taylor Texas - Physical and s*xual abuse within the T. Don Hutto detention center, so why are the doors still open? Controversial private prison contracts directly with ICE to house women seeking asylum. My new "backup" and Cop Watch channel: Visit and subscribe.
Community members are demanding answers after a notorious detention center in Williamson County appears to be staying open following the end of its contract with the county.
“Community called for this place to be shut down for a reason,” said Sofia Casini of Grassroots Leadership. ”Nothing has changed. Why is this center still open? Who is Mayor Rydell protecting?”
After mounting public pressure and several allegations of s*xual abuse, Williamson County commissioners ended the county's contract with T. Don Hutto Detention Center in June, marking a significant shift in government support of the troubled immigration jail ("Williamson County Commissioners Court Ends Hutto Contract," June 26, 2018). However, while the contract expired at the end of January, the Taylor facility remains open, sparking protest from immigration advocates, who gathered earlier this month at a Taylor City Council meeting to voice their disapproval.
The center, which holds roughly 500 mostly asylum-seeking women, is now run through a direct "short-term" contract extension between U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and private prison operator CoreCivic.
The Taylor Police Department has entered into a security agreement with ICE for the T. Don Hutto facility, a memo of understanding that transpired the same month the county allowed its contract to expire, according to open records obtained by Grassroots. Under it, the department will help Hutto with escapees and provide emergency backup for disturbances. Email exchanges show CoreCivic giving the Taylor police chief the heads-up on public protests related to Hutto, including a rally to support s*xual abuse survivor Laura Monterrosa. "This is pretty solidly a federal job, so why would Taylor PD want to be involved in a federal contract that puts them in the role of federal immigration enforcement?"
The T. Don Hutto Residential Center is a guarded, fenced-in, multi-purpose center currently used to detain non-US citizens awaiting the outcome of their immigration status. The center is located at 1001 Welch Street in the city of Taylor, Texas, within Williamson County.
~ A police officers job is just so hard we just can’t expect them to be accountable to the people they’re supposed to be serving and protecting. How dare we question authority or demand transparency and accountability from the people who carry guns to enforce the laws of this benevolent government.
~ Know your rights when dealing with the police. This is what the cops don't want you to know.
~ Is it the job of the police to protect you? The Supreme Court has ruled on numerous occasions that police are under NO obligation to protect you!
