      The nightmare of the Trump administration’s inhumane border policy is still unfolding. Hundreds of children are still being held in detention facilities, wondering: “What about me?” As many as 500 of these children’s parents have already been deported.

      A public health official warned the Trump administration of the harm its family separation policy would cause to these children. It was told of the trauma it would inflict and the lasting psychological damage it would do. The administration went ahead with the policy anyway.

      Reports of abuse linger around some facilities. We’ve heard stories of children being sexually assaulted or forced to take psychotropic drugs. Stories of children being returned to their families sick, beaten or emotionally distressed. This is happening here, on American soil.

      I’m asking you to be the hope these families came for. Keep speaking out. Keep donating to organizations offering them legal aid and counseling. Keep calling Congress to demand accountability. We have to stay by their side, today and for as long as they need us.

          Like Melania's parents. The law says 5 years a legal resident then apply for citizenship. They were here less than a year.

          Save all these kids! Every single child needs to be saved from the hands of these people. Appoint people to do the checks and balances and make sure that no more abuses are done to these children. Enough is Enough! Supposedly you all agree is wrong so fix it. #ReuniteTheFamilies

          You led the witch hunt against our good Senator Franken though the Roger Stone invented bogus charges were dispelled within a day. Your judgment is flawed. Your courage non-existent. Your commitment ever wavering. You should be a Republican.

          Congress needs to call for hearings. Someone has to be held accountable and what is really happening, not what they are telling us, has to be known. Who did what under whose direction and what actually has and is being done to these poor children.

          Kids are being separated by congress. Congress enacted these laws in the 90s under Clinton and has yet to change em. Are you asking for the investigator's to investigate themselves?

          This has not been going on all along.Someone with a name made the decision to separate children from their parents.Whose order was it? There should be accountability about how many, what was done to them, under whose direction. Someone with a name needs to answer questions.

          By policy you mean we shouldn't enforce the laws you dont like? Let's be honest you didn't have outrage when pics leaked of kids in cages in 2014

          Let's just say...suppose it was a law that all birth control must be covered by health insurers. Ok...that's a law. I'm an insurer and to comply with the law decide only vasectomies done with a chainsaw will be covered...that's a policy.
