Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) attempted to enter the detention prison for migrant children in Homestead, FL yesterday. She was not allowed to enter the facility, at which conditions are degrading:
Homestead is hot and barren, with a completely enclosed fence. I saw children being marched from one building to another in single file lines. No laughing, no playing. These are children who are prisoners. pic.twitter.com/7WB4G8sI5n— Elizabeth Warren (@ewarren) June 26, 2019
“What did they do wrong? Why are they locked up?” [Warren] said her grandson Atticus asked. “I don’t have an answer for him. I could tell him about the bigger policies, about Donald Trump … I could talk to him about the claims of caravans and people stacking up at the borders. I can talk to him about mommas wrapping up their babies and running for their lives ... but none of that would explain why these children are locked up in this place.”
