    Rep. Lauren Underwood Retweeted Rep. Lauren Underwood

    Remember when I asked former DHS Secretary Nielsen how family separation impacts the health of children? In March, she seemed unaware of the most basic facts and was completely unprepared.https://twitter.com/RepUnderwood/status/1103371029706145792?s=20 …

    As a nurse, I’m concerned about the trauma young children and families are experiencing as a result of DHS separating families at the border. Tearing kids away from their parents is unacceptable, immoral, and just plain wrong. pic.twitter.com/J3OTEGKC5I

        During my visits to the border, I've seen the heartbreaking despair of children crying out for their families, and the lack of consistent medical screenings these individuals are receiving. The trauma is undeniable.

        I've said it over and over—this is unacceptable and un-American; we are better than this. As Vice-Chair of @HomelandDems, I will continue holding the Administration accountable until the health of every child in our country’s care is protected.

        Thank you Congresswoman. This is unconscionable. This admin is by far the most terrible in my lifetime. I also remember you stating that this cruelty is intentional. “It’s a policy choice made on purpose by this administration, & it’s cruel & inhumane.” #IL14

        Thank you, so grateful to have a representative who truly cares. The inhumanity IS the point and this administration doesn't care who suffers the consequences. It's hateful, destructive and completely unnecessary. We can fix this, they refuse.
