Update: The child died following her stay at an ICE Detention Center, as a result of possible negligent care and a respiratory illness she contracted from one of the other children.
The events took place in Dilley Family Detention Center in south Texas.
BREAKING: @JudiciaryDems have requested ALL Kavanaugh White House records from the Archives, just as Republicans did for Kagan in 2010. But today, Rs withheld their support. We MUST fully vet nominees for lifetime appointments to the highest court in the land. #ReleaseTheRecords
Michigan Supreme Court: voters will get a chance to end partisan gerrymandering and vote for fair maps. This is a big win. Citizens will choose their representatives, politicians will not pick their voters - if the ballot measure is passed.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that the policies of President Trump and Attorney General Jeff Sessions may essentially orphan hundreds of immigrant children. We need to keep on this administration until all children who were taken are reunited with their parents.
Trump continues to consolidate power every single day, unchecked.
Trump & the GOP’s endgame: to stack the courts with extreme judicial picks who share their world view and penchant for decimating human rights.
These lifetime appointments will affect us for generations to come.
I just tried to pass our bill that would prevent the release of these 3D-printed gun blueprints – but the GOP blocked it. If President Trump doesn’t reverse this dangerous decision before midnight tonight, our national security will be irreversibly harmed.
We’ve got about ONE WEEK LEFT until a whole slew of elections come up across the country.
From @KanielaIng & @SaadforCongress to @AbdulElSayed & @CoriBush, it’s time to leave it all on the field.
Check your state primary date & VOTE August 7th + 11th.

Lemme circle back. This is far bigger than just providing an education to at-risk elementary students. This is an attempt to level the playing field. This is breaking generational curses. This is, in my opinion, extremely revolutionary.
It is absolutely INSANE that we're in the 11th hour of blocking the ability to print 3-D guns while children are being slaughtered in schools.
Speaking to the kids:
WE NEED YOUR HELP.
Get your friends together in November, and vote these cowardly sons of bitches OUT. #VoteBlue
IMPORTANT: A Republican lawyer representing Steve Bannon, Don McGahn, Reince Priebus in the Russia probe and Judge Alex Kozinski on harassment allegations is deciding which of Brett Kavanaugh's records are turned over. This has NEVER been done. This is the National Archives' job.
The evolution of Trump on Russia:
No meetings with any Russians.
Ok, lots of low level meetings.
Ok, high level meetings too, but about adoptions.
Ok, not about adoptions, but Trump didn’t know.
Ok, maybe he did, but no crime.
Next?
Ok, it’s a crime. Pardons for everyone!
Average wages are flat since the Republicans passed their tax bill, but big business CEOs are raking in record-breaking multi-million dollar bonuses. This was a policy designed to help the rich get richer – and it’s working just as Republicans planned. https://t.co/ratKSJWOY2
The reunification deadline may have passed, but I haven’t forgotten the children still separated from their parents — and I know you haven’t either. This is one of the dark marks in the history of our country, and we must keep speaking up about this human rights abuse.
Decades of research show that children traumatically separated from their parents are likely to develop emotional problems, cognitive delays and long-term trauma.
We’ll keep saying it: Families. Belong. Together. #FamiliesBelongTogether https://t.co/UTrrbf7BEP
You won’t find “rub out” or “whack” in the criminal code, but “murder” is a crime nonetheless. Ditto with “collusion.” It likewise IS definitely a crime, but we just happen to call it “conspiracy.” Don’t fall for the semantics of Trump, Giuliani and their ilk.
