  • I am honored to have the students and directors here today.

  • Just eight months later,

  • two teenage brothers in the band were detained along with the rest of their family by ICE.

  • Most of the family ended up at a detention center in Dilley, Texas, and there was immediate outrage.

  • This is a family that came here through the legal process.

  • And yet, the Trump administration has them sitting in a prison in Dilley, Texas.

  • All that outrage got the entire family out early.

  • Less lucky are the kids who don't end up with massive campaigns to get them out of detention.

  • On Today Explained, we're going to find out what it's like to be a kid detained at Dilley.
