Yesterday, my Short-Term Detention Standards Act passed the House. We can protect our country and treat migrants humanely — those things aren't mutually exclusive, and I’m proud that my colleagues on both sides of the aisle joined me in passing this bill and sending that message.pic.twitter.com/fn3n6hO5GI
This bipartisan bill expands requirements under law to ensure migrants in detention receive the full range of basic necessities they are too often going without.
To be clear: providing adequate nutrition, hygiene and bathroom facilities to migrant children in our care is the bare minimum of what we must do, and there is so much more we must do to alleviate the crisis at the border, including addressing our broken immigration system.
As a member of the Homeland Security Committee — and particularly after my trip to the Southern border last week — I will continue to fight for bipartisan solutions that secure our border while upholding our nation’s values. We can and must do both.
