Faro de Punta Bolívar

El Faro de Punta Bolívar​ (en inglés: Point Bolivar Lighthouse) es un faro histórico en Port Bolívar, Texas, Estados Unidos que fue construido en 1872. Sirvió durante 61 años antes de ser retirado en 1933, cuando su función fue reemplazado por un faro diferente. El faro actual es por lo menos la segunda estructura en el sitio. El primer faro fue construido a mediados de la década de 1850 y fue derribado durante la guerra civil estadounidense para que los buques de guerra de la Unión no pudieran utilizarlo como ayuda a la navegación. Durante el huracán de Galveston de 1900, el faro sirvió como un refugio para al menos 125 personas, salvando sus vidas. También sobrevivió a otro huracán, en 1915, donde se registraron vientos de 126 millas por hora. El primer guardián del faro, H. C. Claiborne, se retiró en 1918, después de presenciar esas dos tormentas, y fue reemplazado por el Capitán J. Brooks. En 1947 el faro fue vendido y, aunque todavía esta pie, no está abierto al público.

Point Isabel Light

The Point (Port) Isabel Lighthouse is a historic lighthouse located in Port Isabel, Texas, United States that was built in 1852 to guide ships through the Brazos Santiago Pass to Port Isabel. The lighthouse was added to the National Register of Historic Places on April 30, 1976. On September 28, 1850, the United States Congress authorized an appropriation of $15,000 for "a lighthouse and beacon light" at Brazos Santiago Pass. Work began in February 1852. When complete, the lighthouse was an 82-foot-high brick tower and had four lights. By 1854, it had 15 lamps and 21 reflectors. A third order fresnel lens was installed in 1857 and the rotating light was varied by flashes. During the American Civil War the Point (Port) Isabel Lighthouse was occupied by soldiers from both sides as a look-out post. After the Civil War, the lighthouse was refitted and returned to operation in 1866. In 1888, the light was temporarily discontinued as claimants proved that the United States government did not have title to the land, forcing the government to condemn the land in 1894 to acquire title. On July 15, 1895, the light returned to use. It operated for ten years, after which time it was extinguished in 1905. On Sept. 20, 1927, the government sold the lighthouse and land. A local citizen purchased it. In the late 1940s, a movement began to save the lighthouse as a historic site. On October 5, 1950, the Texas State Park Board accepted the lighthouse and surrounding land as a gift from Mr. and Mrs. Lon C. Hill Jr., the owners at the time. The Texas State Park Board began restoring the lighthouse in 1951, and it was opened to the public in 1952. In September 1996, a new visitors center was completed. Today the lighthouse is operated as Port Isabel Lighthouse State Historic Site. On November 16-17, 2022, a reproduction 3rd Order Fresnel Lens was installed in the Lighthouse and a celebration held on December 9, 2022. The site is owned by the Texas Historical Commission but operated by the City of Port Isabel.

Polytechnic High School (Fort Worth, Texas)

Polytechnic High School, also known colloquially as "Poly", is a public high school located in Fort Worth, Texas, United States. History The Polytechnic Heights community originally grew around the Manchester Cotton Mill and merged with the city of Fort Worth in 1922. The first school associated with the Manchester community was formed in 1886 and replaced by a new, expanded Polytechnic Heights School in 1907. The class of 1912, Polytechnic's first graduating class, had just eleven students. In 1923, now part of the Fort Worth Public Schools, Polytechnic moved to an even larger building at 1202 Nashville Street, and the old building became an elementary school. In 1938, Poly moved two blocks away to its current building, which was designed by renowned local architect, Joseph Pelich.

Port Isabel Detention Center

The Port Isabel Service Processing Center near Los Fresnos, Texas holds detainees of United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), whose immigration status or citizenship has not been officially determined or who are awaiting repatriation. It is operated by Ahtna Support and Training Services. History Port Isabel was built in 1950 and added a new building in 2007. The facility holds about 1,200 detainees, and intake approximately 9,500 detainees per year. Unarmed guards at Port Isabel receive 67 hours of training and Armed guards get an extra eight hours of firearms instruction. Detainees get two hot meals and one cold meal a day, and all outgoing mail is photocopied. Controversies On April 22, 2009, some detainees began a hunger strike, alleging violations of due process, inadequate access to medical care and legal resources, and various other abuses. On February 10, 2010, detainees went on a series of staggered hunger strikes in protest of inhumane conditions and advocating for less transfers. Detainees feared violence and being placed in isolation for the hunger strike. It was reported as the third hunger strike in less than a year. A Department of Homeland Security 2010 report confirms the need to properly staff the facilities medical care and was not addressing detainees sick requests in a timely manner. In July 2010 Tony Hefner, a former guard at Port Isabel, published a memoir about the corruption and human rights abuses he witnessed in the 1980s. In 2015, the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights issued a report on the treatment of detainees held in immigration detention centers. The report found Port Isabel to be one of the facilities in the U.S. to be violating the Fifth Amendment rights of immigrants due to the detention conditions being punitive in nature, such as punishing people without the due process protections afforded in criminal proceedings. Family separation Following the Trump Administration's "zero tolerance" family separation policy in April 2018, the Port Isabel Detention Center was designated ICE's primary family reunification and removal center for adults in their custody. Even though the facility is designated a reunification center, children of detainees are housed at "off-site" locations, making it hard to know how many families have been reunified through ICE. Several members of Congress toured the facility in June and met with 10 women who had been separated from their children. Some of them did not know where their children had been transferred to and none had been able to speak with a lawyer. One women said that she was told that her child would be put up for adoption. Rhode Island Representative David Cicilline said the women were uncontrollably sobbing. The National Congress of American Indians (NCAI) decried the family separation policy calling it "simply immoral and harkens back to a dark period for many Native American families." References
