"The US released this image today, taken from a border detention facility where more children are separated from their parents than anywhere else in America. Just a bunch of teenagers, right? Zoom in. They're not."

"I'm in McAllen, Texas. About to go inside the epicenter of family separations: the Border Patrol's Central Processing Center - Ursula. The most family separations are happening here and Border Patrol is going to show us around. No cameras allowed inside. Stay tuned. https://t.co/BT4IagPXk1"

"Shockingly there are situations where a parent may be taken to court to be charged, a separation occurs, only to return the same day sentenced to "time served" - but their child has already been taken to another facility. At that point nobody knows when they'd be reunited."

"WaPo gave @SenJeffMerkley "three Pinocchios" for saying there are kids in cages at Border Patrol's facility in McAllen. Not sure why. I saw myself: there are kids, families and adults in cages, cells, kennels - whatever you call them. No question. https://t.co/DKCTeM9tem"

My fault I wrote the promo I will correct it.

"Why hasn't this terrorism mobilized a million marchers? Trump is taking child hostages to deter others & get his wall. Are we waiting for the hot Texas sun to kill a child in a tent? If his harming kids doesn't move us, nothing will. This is the moment of truth and we are failing https://t.co/dpbihlRSX3"
