Regardless of the conditions he was kept in (they were apparently bad enough for him to lose 20+ lbs), it is rather shocking that a citizen was detained so long, based solely on the suspicion he was an illegal immigrant.

The writer of this editorial seems to insinuate that John Cornyn and Ted Cruz are too afraid to speak up. And he's a Republican. Or at least he was up until a few years ago.
