In a federal courthouse in McAllen, Texas this morning 74 adults were facing illegal entry charges and 35 of them were separated from kids as a result of the zero tolerance policy.

Today, the man who expanded use of family detention for asylum seekers admits that detention as a deterrence for asylum seekers DOES NOT WORK & was a failed policy decision. When will govt listen & stop punishing asylum seekers for seeking protection? wapo.st/2lid1WP

Until this policy of separating children from their families has been rescinded, Maryland will not deploy any National Guard resources to the border. Earlier this morning, I ordered our 4 crewmembers & helicopter to immediately return from where they were stationed in New Mexico. twitter.com/GovLarryHogan/…

Leaving people in purgatory is the Trump Administration's latest tactic for denying people asylum and deterring others from seeking their legal right to protection. Read more about how the U.S. is making accessing protection impossible. humanrightsfirst.org/blog/trump-adm…

The United States is turning away people who come to our shores desperate for safety. The Berduo family—fleeing death threats, beatings, and gang violence—were left in limbo, waiting for more than a week at the U.S.-Mexico border. youtu.be/rM1OsJn2uOo

Our President is lying to us. He is separating children from their parents and caging them. This is not normal. And say it EVERY DAY until that changes. #KeepFamilesTogether

#FamiliesBelongTogether is not an immigration issue – it is a *humanitarian* issue. And we must do more to end the suffering of these young children who’ve been torn away from their parents.

Thank you @SenJohnMcCain for recognizing that a policy of family separation runs counter to the values and ideals that this nation was founded upon. This is not who we are. twitter.com/SenJohnMcCain/…

The answer to the underlying problem is twofold.
1. Send more aid to Central America.
2. Encourage neighboring countries to develop systems for accepting refugees and asylum seekers.
This is not politics; it is basic common sense. twitter.com/NickKristof/st…

Wow. In just the few short hours since I tweeted, this community has donated nearly $150,000 to support these groups’ critical work. If you’re as heartbroken and infuriated about what’s happening as I am, help keep it going: secure.actblue.com/donate/familie… twitter.com/hillaryclinton…
