U.S. @SenMarkey calls family separations at the border "a disgrace on our nation," condemns inhumanity, stresses: this is NOT required by law. #FamiliesBelongTogether
"This should not be a partisan issue," @SenMarkey says. #FamiliesBelongTogether Congress must pass Markey/Feinstein bill to stop family separations NOW! Don't fold it into "immigration reform." Solve this crisis.
Rev. Kathleen McTigue calls family separations & actions at the border "state-sanctioned child abuse," rebuffs @USAGSessions talk of the Bible. "When law is elevated above love, that is idolatry."
Family separations are not only immoral; they are also illegal, says @LauraRotolo of @ACLU_Mass. We must protect families, at the border & within the U.S.
MIRA director @EvaMillona: "This is institutionalized cruelty. But as we saw at marches all across the country, Americans will not stand for this." We will fight to put a stop to these abuses. #FamiliesBelongTogether
Thank you @SenMarkey for taking a strong stand against institutionalized cruelty! #FamiliesBelongTogether & we must ALL fight to end these abuses ASAP. We urge the entire Mass. Congressional delegation to get behind this bill. https://t.co/BCbH8mwI6t
Words cannot express how horrific it is to see our government willfully traumatizing parents & children to deter & punish #asylumseekers. Call the White House (202-456-1111). Call your members of Congress. #FamiliesBelongTogether. Thank you @SenMarkey!
The House bill would allow children & parents to be held indefinitely in @ICEgov custody, exchanging one form of trauma for another. Don't fall for it. #FamiliesBelongTogether https://t.co/UGYii5WvIt
No, @realDonaldTrump, it's not the Democrats traumatizing families at the border. It's YOU. It's also YOU sabotaging efforts to help #Dreamers. You're a father & grandfather. Have you no shame at what you're doing to others' kids? https://t.co/Nqhq2oS5QG #FamiliesBelongTogether
We wholeheartedly agree with @BostonGlobe editorial: Sheriffs have no business enforcing #immigration law. Provisions in #MAbudget also add crucial legal protections to ensure ALL in Mass. feel safe calling 911 & speaking to police. https://t.co/79vByY3zgm
America is strongest when we come together and reject xenophobia. Congress must permanently protect Dreamers and reject Trump's bigotry. https://t.co/zn0Mk1rd11
