Stanton Provides Update on Margoth and Dilan Paredes, Tempe Family Held in ICE Detention in Texas

WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Rep. Greg Stanton, D-Ariz., said he has spoken directly with Tempe resident Margoth Paredes-Ortiz who, along with her 14-year-old son Dilan, has now spent more than two weeks detained at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in Texas. Margoth and Dilan were taken into custody on May 26, 2026. Today, June 15, marks 20 days since the children were taken into federal immigration custody — an important deadline under the landmark 1997 Flores Settlement Agreement, which protects children from prolonged detention.
