So what is being done about this, by those who have the power to actually DO something?!? Thank you @SenJeffMerkley.
The fact that Senator Merkley was denied entry to a federal immigration facility while trying to check the welfare of children is unacceptable. This Administration needs to give answers on how they're treating these kids, and they need to stop separating families at the border.pic.twitter.com/3V1dv4ZbEw

I think you and DiFi need to make the trip to the detention centers

They all need to make the trip. Totally agree! And now! Each day is another day those babies are terrified and without comfort. I try not to think why they don't let anyone visit and volunteer.

And you, Senator, need to go see these places too. If they turn you away like they did
@JeffMerkley then livestream it like he did. Do not let these people off the hook for one second until these children are treated with humanity. Please.#WhereAreTheChildren#SavetheChildren -
Not just the children, though they are a good start, but let's set a goal to treat all people regardless of citizenship, bloodline, skin color, etc with humanity. Or is that setting the bar too high for U.S.?

Why isn't every democrat there at the border DEMANDING to see what is happening?

What stood out to me was the behavior of the guard who took Merkley’s name. Not only did he not know who Merkley was, he didn’t know what a US Senator meant. The smirk on the guard’s face told me he was giving Merkley the Bum’s Rush.

The senator should refuse to leave
