The report on conditions at the border issued yesterday is gut-wrenching. Overcrowded cells, families in cages, children separated from their parents and denied showers, warm meals, and clean clothing. Many being detained longer than the 72 hours allowed by law.
Regardless of their immigration status, every human being deserves to be treated with respect and dignity, and if the Trump administration refuses to uphold that basic American value, Congress must act – and we are.
The treatment of detained immigrants dramatically highlights the need to pass H.R. 3239, which mandates basic humanitarian standards for detainees.
H.R. 3239 prevents the separation of minors from their parents and requires detainees to receive a medical screening to determine their needs within twelve hours of being detained.
H.R. 3239 also requires that detainees receive drinking water and three meals a day and have access to an adequate number of clean and private facilities to shower, change diapers, and go to the bathroom.
H.R. 3239 also requires that detainees are provided with toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, and feminine hygiene products. It’s stunning to think that we have to legislate the provision of basic needs to refugees fleeing a humanitarian crisis, but here we are.
I have also called for no further Homeland Security appropriations to implement family separation and was proud to be part of a strong Democratic coalition to block defense funds being allocated to border wall construction.
