TAYLOR, Texas — About 400 protesters gathered outside of a center used for detained immigrant families Saturday as part of World Refugee Day and asked officials to close down the facility, an official participating in the protest said. Civil liberties advocates contend families at the T. Don Hutto facility are subjected to psychologically abusive guards, inadequate medical care and inhumane conditions in an immigration center they say is run like a prison.
