POPULAR KIDS YOUTUBER "MS. RACHEL" IS STEPPING UP TO HELP CHILDREN AT ICE DETENTION CENTERS, EVEN VIDEO CHATTING WITH THEM TO HELP THEM STAY POSITIVE AS SHE RALLIES FOR SUPPORT.

Ms. Rachel is calling for the closure of the Dilley Immigration Processing Center in South Texas after telling NBC News she wants detained children and their parents back in their communities. The children’s entertainer, whose real name is Rachel Accurso, said she is willing to be seen as political over the issue as she continues speaking out about conditions at the facility.

"“I am political,” she said. “It’s political to believe that children are worthy of love and care, and that every child is equal, and that our care shouldn’t stop at what we look like, our family, at our religion, at a border.”

Ms. Rachel ahora está pidiendo que cierren el centro de detención de inmigración en Dilley, Texas, después de decirle a NBC News que quiere ver a los niños detenidos y a sus papás de regreso en sus comunidades. Rachel Accurso, conocida por millones como Ms. Rachel, dijo que está dispuesta a ser vista como una figura política por este tema mientras sigue denunciando lo que pasa en ese lugar.
