Tragic news this Christmas Day. Another death of a child in CBP custody? This is unacceptable. It is not ok that children are dying, that they are separated from their parents and don’t receive proper medical screenings and treatment. Congress must act. Real oversight coming 1/3.https://twitter.com/ap/status/1077630553145397251 …

A second child has died while in federal custody, this time early on Christmas morning. Immigrants who come to the United States in search of a better life for themselves and their families deserve to be treated humanely and compassionately.https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/26/us/felipe-alonzo-gomez-customs-border-patrol.html …

This is good news for the many women and children who are fleeing persecution by gangs and abusive spouses. Now we must end the Trump administration’s deadly and irresponsible practice of turning away these same asylum seekers at ports of entry!https://twitter.com/ACLU/status/1075433362549026818 …

This is gut-wrenching. Congress must exercise oversight of all facilities that house kids so we can ensure safety. I’m also waiting for an answer from this Admin on the # of those who died or been seriously injured, including sexually assaulted, in
