No access to an attorney.
No due process.
Just fear and cruelty.
President Trump has used COVID-19 to effectively shutdown of the asylum system—this unlawful action is also happening in San Antonio. https://t.co/kPNGV3a5EP

BREAKING: Our attorney was aggressively rejected from trying to offer help to immigrant children illegally detained at a Hampton Inn in McAllen, TX. He and another of our staffer were violently shoved into the hotel elevator and were told they could not offer help. #FreeThemALL! https://t.co/xSOxHOViKp pic.twitter.com/MEp7UmK6Gv

Canada’s Liberal government is building a new detention centre for migrants
My first story for @briarpatchmag. I looked at how Canada's Liberal government is building a new detention centre for migrants, including children, near Montreal—and the movement to stop its construction.
Proud of reporting on this largely ignored story.https://t.co/2IjoTWiEBo

CBP is trying to refute the toilet drinking story by saying their toilets have sinks.
The sink in the cell we visited wasn’t functional. Guards told these women,Cuban refugees 🇨🇺, they could drink out of the bowl.
This account has been corroborated by other members of Congress. https://t.co/VT99UGZ6Ex

⬇️ This. Corporate greed is at the heart of Trump's policy to cage children.
$250/day to house a migrant child at a standard HHS shelter.
$750/day charged by FOR PROFIT Caliburn International Corp. in Homestead.
Paid for by THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.

It’s pretty hard to view the indefinite detention of a 5-year old as anything other than inhumane. We are long past due for Congressional hearings to expose the full scope of this administration’s abuses. We must put an end to these concentration camps. https://t.co/duM4dpm6Bv

Nooses have been found in ICE facilities of caged migrants. This is an emergency.
An agency that has systematically and repeatedly commits human rights abuses cannot be reformed – it must be abolished.
Child abuse is a bright red line. It should be for all of us. https://t.co/Gi2c9dvDWU

Baby Mariee got sick in #ICE detention and died 6 weeks later #JusticeForMariee
This is Mariee Juárez. She was 18-months-old when she entered ICE detention in Dilley, TX.
When she fell ill, ICE treated her with honey packets, vapor rub, and ibuprofen. They never hospitalized her—not with a 104 fever or after losing 20% of her body weight.#justiceformariee pic.twitter.com/p0sRnDPtc0

Dear @SecNielsen: You should read this article. Then you should resign.
This trauma would not have happened to the little girl but for the fact that your agency ripped her away from her parents and placed her in a facility without adequate supervision. https://t.co/X9kyPLjsOi
