I’m about to cross the border into Matamoros to witness the encampments of migrants who are seeking asylum. I am here with a diverse group of @HouseDemocrats from all over the country who care deeply about the rights of immigrants.pic.twitter.com/BUO8RAtVIC

Before we crossed the border we met with advocates from
@TXCivilRights,@ACLUTx,@ABA_Immigration and Sister Norma from@CCharitiesUSA to talk about how we can help immigrant families.#DemsAtTheBorderpic.twitter.com/IuRWBgoS5s

The conditions in the camps are heartbreaking. They get water rationed from a bucket. They see a doctor in what looks like a large portapotty. There are so many children. Before Trump’s
#RemainInMexico policy these families could wait in the US for their asylum court dates.pic.twitter.com/FNcpGlF5rM

What I saw today is terrible. The Trump Admin should be ashamed of
#RemainInMexico and the#TentCourts. There are about 2500 people living in squalor in what used to be a park. They are awaiting their court dates in unsafe and unsanitary conditions.#DemsAtTheBorderpic.twitter.com/0teyxpsVJuShow this thread -
What my colleagues and I witnessed today is a human rights crisis of major proportions. As Members of Congress, we will redouble our efforts to end the
#RemainInMexico policy and restore decency to our asylum process.#DemsAtTheBorderpic.twitter.com/jbvuozd3SPShow this thread
