BREAKING: Florida's Republican Governor Ron DeSantis rejects a request from the Biden White House to provide National Guards for security in D.C. during the State of the Union Address — a reasonable request given what happened on Jan. 6th. RT IF YOU THINK DESANTIS IS A DISGRACE!
Ted Cruz wants to give those fleeing persecution just 14 days to prepare a case for asylum, even though they need extensive documentation from overseas, often from dysfunctional governments. This kangaroo court proposal is totally unacceptable.
Arrived in Tornillo TX where first tent city for kids has gone up. Was refused entrance by HHS. Given amount of misinformation and conflicting info coming from Trump Admin, it’s critical that Congress and American public know exactly how these children are treated by our system.
Sent letter w/ @ChrisCoons urging the admin to withdraw nomination of Ronald Mortensen to lead US refugee & migration policy. Mortensen has spread misinformation about immigrants & displayed a lack of empathy for innocent people fleeing oppression. https://t.co/H3jfK32qX1
Here’s what you can do right now:
1) Sign my petition calling on a reversal of this cruel policy: https://t.co/2cc4Hq97ol
2) Call Congress and tell them you support hearings and legislation to #KeepFamiliesTogether.
3) Spread the word: ask your friends & family to take action!
It’s been 3 days since I visited the border. THANK YOU to everyone who has made their voice heard about @realDonaldTrump’s horrific child-snatching policy. But our work isn’t done. Next up, I’m calling for Congressional hearings into the matter, and I need your help.
When each of us learns to appreciate the critical importance of ethics and makes inner values like compassion and patience an integral part of our basic outlook on life, the effects will be far-reaching.
