    RIGHT NOW 1,300 children in the Tornillo prison camp could be freed in five days—the vast majority housed with family members—if the @realDonaldTrump simply finished the paperwork. This is government sponsored child abuse. We CANNOT forget these children.pic.twitter.com/GNVRb9gwlI

        This is Elena's baby. She is 5 months old baby girl. I met her at my house when we hosted several migrant families who were released by CBP. Elena and her spent 10 days in the hielera with no diapers and no clean water. She came out really sick because the cell was freezing cold. pic.twitter.com/39WHWCbxla

        You are absolutely correct. The combined authority of CBP, Trump, Sessions, & Nielsen should all be charged with Child Neglect, Child Abandonment, Emotional Deprivation, and kidnapping. These kids have been permanently harmed.

        Trump and his close associates running for profit "camps" have yet again chosen money over life...This has always been about making money...

        The Trump administration is using the same companies Obama used including Southwest Key who’s owner Juan Sanchez, running 26 detention centers in 2016 for ORR pocketed 1.5million, with his company earning 1.4billion since 2002. Look up the facts before spouting off about Trump

        Perhaps you should practice what you preach. You look up the facts...Research Mr. Sanchez salary increase 2016 since your Leader Trump took office...You can't really be this dim...Obama detained families, Trump is holding children separated from their parents in baby prisons.

        Thx @SenJeffMerkley for continued alarm. It’s heartbreaking to know these imprisoned children will not be w their families at Christmas. This is horrible. When are the so-called Christian GOP leaders going to be outraged to protest WH to make this stop? #Cruel #Criminal #Mean

        Everything about this situation flies directly in the face of what the US is supposed to stand for. Freedom, liberty, and justice, not xenophobia, fear, and exclusion.

        How about we let them stay at your house until their court date?? If you're an American you should not speak in this manner.
