I’m working to help one mother, “Luisa,” 23, who fled violence in Guatemala w/ her 5-yr-old son, “Mateo.” They climbed in raft on the Rio Grande about a month ago, coming to our border, asking for asylum. But Luisa was arrested & Mateo was taken away. She hasn’t seen Mateo since.

She is now in detention while Mateo was placed into foster care in San Antonio. Per her attorney, she “sits at Hutto [now], feeling powerless, waiting, worrying.” Seizing children into “foster care or whatever” takes a page straight out of the darkest chapters in history.

Agreed,
@RepLloydDoggett. That’s why we’e asking you, as a MoC who cares about children, to follow@JeffMerkley’s lead & go one further by demanding access to@SouthwestKey facilities in TX where immigrant children r reportedly held. Video please. Thanks!#FamiliesBelongTogetherThanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Argument can be made that you are wrongly using sentiment to push a flawed approach to securing the border which has the unintended consequence of creating more danger to families and their children.

When's the last time an immigrant mother and her 5-year-old created a security risk? Never! We should be deporting white men between ages of 18-25 who love violence if you want to protect America.

You are a good and reasonable man. Your analysis as a guest on CNN today was a perfect assessment of what Trump is attempting & holding children as ransom is despicable. Speaker Ryan is a disgrace to all America!

Is there an active federal investigation of ICE practices? These illegal and inhuman orders are nation wide and coming from an organized group within our democracy. Please, they are risking our National Security!
