Pleased to announce that the 13 year old U.S. citizen girl & her mother have been released from detention after @HomelandDems, @HouseJudiciary & I demanded their immediate release.

This should never happen again.

How many other U.S. citizens are being detained right now? https://t.co/Gfzfmo7hNr

Spoke to a mom and her U.S. citizen daughter who is 13 years old.

They showed me her passport. She was born in NY. pic.twitter.com/SonBtJROd6

Notice that water is kept outside of where migrants are held.

I tasted the water. Didn’t taste very good but it’s from the hose. pic.twitter.com/ZAiF1pykQX

Listen to the desperation in his voice and look at the agony in their eyes.

They wouldn’t open the door to let me talk to them. Migrants should be allowed phone calls to lawyers and family members. pic.twitter.com/2JB95rfUIt
