...according to U.S. Congressman Peter Welch who just visited some of the detention centres and witnessed it for himself:
My visit to the southern border in Texas yesterday was heart wrenching. I saw kids locked in chain link cages. I met with distraught mothers sobbing because they don’t know where their kids are or if they will ever see them again. This policy is shameful. It is un-American.
We just arrived here. It used to be a Walmart in Brownsville, TX. Now it’s warehousing 1,500 boys. Filled to capacity. Shameful.
