    Chris Van Hollen Retweeted Secretary Kirstjen M. Nielsen

    Nielsen's claim here is very deceptive for 2 reasons: First, I spoke personally to a mom who crossed at a legal point of entry. She and her daughter were fleeing death threats in Honduras. Her daughter was taken away and she is now locked up in a detention center.https://twitter.com/SecNielsen/status/1008467414235992069 …

    We do not have a policy of separating families at the border. Period.

        Second, new DHS policy is making it almost impossible for families fleeing violence to seek asylum at legal ports of entry. So desperate moms hire folks to take them across the Rio Grande. Then—as described here—they are arrested and then their children are taken away.pic.twitter.com/EaQUi4tyjv

        Trump keeps saying we need new immigration laws to change his cruel family separation policy. Totally false. He ordered it 6 weeks ago and he could end it today. He is holding these separated kids hostage to gain leverage in the larger immigration debate. Despicable!

        Dems should use this for their elections. "They are coming for your kids," just like they used to use the They are coming for your guns when Trump was president.pic.twitter.com/txS39NuT1z

        They’ve already come for your health insurance, your paycheck, and your civil rights. Now, the party that does nothing about school shootings & uses children’s healthcare funding as a bargaining chip is holding children hostage in internment camps in 100* heat. Who’s next?

        There should be ZERO negotiations in Congress until this policy is rescinded. Let Trump live with the ramifications. No budget. No NDAA. No CRA. I didn’t give most of my adult life in service for this crap. This POLICY of arresting asylum seekers as criminals is evil.

        Total inhumanity. @SecNielsen, these are not "hearsay" stories. In her press conference, she would not say where the girls are being kept. Please demand that we see the girls. This is so freaking horrifying and heartbreaking.
