      He couldn’t speak English. He spoke French so one of his fellow detainees from Ghana volunteered to translate for him. He made this speech in front of all the guards and the other detainees – it was a tremendous act of courage. (3/4)

      This is the kind of person who built America. Passionate, bright, courageous. He has come to America seeking asylum. We should be enthusiastically welcoming this man to our country, not imprisoning him. (4/4)

          At least he's safe, if you look at the prison system where we keep our own they are separated from their families too, raped in prison, Full of promise, but democrats can't seem to work with Republicans to organize decent #prisonreform. Plenty of blame to go around, few solutions

          Thank you for being our MA senator and speaking out on this! It is important that the democratic message is clear-it’s not open borders-but intelligent and thoughtful compassion!
