A U.S. lawmaker has released a video from inside a Texas immigration detention center. The footage appears to show children using computers in a clean, well-lit room.
Republican Representative Tony Gonzales shared the video. He said it exposes "grandstanding" by Democratic politicians. Democrats have long criticized conditions at such facilities, often using the term "cages."
The video is a direct counter to those claims. It aims to show a different reality than the one often described by critics. The release highlights the ongoing political debate over border security and migrant treatment.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operates the facility. The agency has not yet commented on the newly released video.
