No one likes long threads, but y’all need to know the latest from Laredo. I’m here volunteering at an immigrant clinic and shelter that was set up ad hoc by the local Catholic Church under the auspices of Catholic Charities. They have taken in almost 20,000 people since May.

I tried to retweet w/your thread but not able to do it. Send it to Joy Reid and Rachel Maddow I know they will look at their plight in Laredo.

That’s the problem right now. CBP is taking people AWAY from where all the resources are-shelters here in Laredo-&sending them to Mexico where they are not equipped to handle the influx and there is no infrastructure of volunteers to help them. We can’t get supplies across yet.
