For far too long immigrant women held in detention at Karnes County Residential Center have faced brutal rape every night without the support of anyone on the outside. Thanks to multiple legal organizations and over 40,000 UltraViolet members who signed the petition calling for an investigation, that has now changed.

But a media spotlight on the disturbing abuse at Karnes is just the beginning. The Department of Homeland Security has not taken action to start an investigation yet--and probably hopes that once the news stories die down, the department can turn a blind eye to what is happening inside this private detention center. We can't let that happen--the life and dignity of hundreds of women depends on it. Can you show DHS we're serious by calling the Department of Civil Rights and demanding an investigation into the abuse at Karnes?
