Today, I visited the largest refugee camp at our southern border where 3,000 people are waiting for months on end for their asylum claims to be processed.
I was horrified by what I saw. The conditions are a disgrace to the United States of America and the ideals on which our nation was founded. There are reports of rampant violence, kidnappings, sexual assault, and widespread illness–– especially among children.
The Trump administration and architect of hate Stephen Miller are purposely subjecting asylum-seekers to inhumane conditions. What is happening at our border is a direct result of Trump's cruel and ineffective Remain in Mexico policy which is a violation of U.S. and international law. Congress must end these atrocities!
In direct response to Trump's human rights abuses at our southern border, our movement has raised over $25,000 for Kids in Need of Defense (KIND), an organization at the front lines that works to ensure that minors have legal representation in court. Please chip in a small donation to KIND now–– it makes all of the difference to the children seeking safe refuge in our country.
