A second call you can make right now to help families who want to reunite with their kids:
Call your member of Congress and ask them to put pressure on CBP to grant asylum to parents applying in Mexicali today.
The Capitol switchboard number is 202-224-3121.
.@fams2gether, @ACLU and others are in Mexicali today working to reunify families the administration has separated. Help by calling @CBP now at 1-855-681-1349 and demand that CBP allow parents to apply for asylum—their legal right—so they can be reunited with their children.
Let us hope that, with the shift of power in the White House, honesty and respect will return into our government.
Listening to Michael Cohen's testimony,
and to Elijah Cummings' closing statement,
filled me with hope,
that we might return to a real democracy.
We can dobetter
Under oath, Scott Lloyd admitted that he let family separation happen, even after his staff raised concerns about child welfare. Horrendous. This will have long term psychological and physical effects on thousands of children -- and this administration did NOTHING.
I’m not shocked by much. But I felt ill watching GOP Oversight members try to delay subpoenaing DHS+others after multiple unfulfilled requests for info that could lead us to reunify lost children with their parents.
Some issues are partisan. The urgency of this shouldn’t be.
Too much work—this pathetic excuse for failing to track down & properly reunify children separated from their families is horrifyingly inhumane. The shocking numbers are of the Trump Admin’s own making. A malicious immoral mess it must make right. https://t.co/tiFzG9FS4W

💥😭➡ .@AOC You could do this. You could hold hearings and bring Kids in Cages to the forefront of the national conversation. 10k+ kids. Why are they still being held hostage by tRump? They are innocent! #Subpoena#tRumpsInternmentCamps
