For 4+ months, Ubaldo Ochoa has been held in an ICE detention center in Pearsall, TX while his son awaits his release.
Today, we received a call from him saying it's freezing inside the jail, yet nothing has been done to alleviate the cold

We're unsure if there have been power outages in the detention center but if their heating is working, it's set very low.
Ubaldo told us they were asking the guards (with no luck) to lower the air from the vents bc it was making them colder.

In lieu of heating, his block hasn't received blankets or any type of warm clothes in order to weather the storm.
And to top things off, our status hearing was cancelled today because of court closures in the state.

It's not just Ubaldo either. The situation is dire for incarcerated folks in Texas and many other parts of the country facing record-breaking freezing temperatures. https://twitter.com/keribla/status/1361833494008061953?s=20
If you're looking for ways to help, we ask you continue to pressure your Congressional Reps, @POTUS & @AliMayorkas to #FreeThemAll. Send letters. Call. Tweet.
If 2020 & #COVID19 taught us anything, it's that NO ONE should be incarcerated - much less in circumstances like this.
