.@SecNeilson you can’t be serious. I just arrived with @SenJeffMerkley at Casa Padre in Brownsville. 1500 boys here. Earlier we saw children in chain link cages. Alone. Not a parent in sight.

I can’t stop thinking about how scared those kids must be right now with no one to turn to for comfort. They are being held in cages like animals—We’re better than this #America. #EndFamilySeparation #FindABetterWay Congress, please act now!!! https://t.
