Rep Nadler is at the Elizabeth NJ centre, barging his way in.




We have gotten the door open at the Elizabeth, NJ ICE detention center and refusing to let it close until we are given access to the detainees. #FamiliesBelongTogether

........................

Good going, barge in, let them call the cops, expose the cockroaches for what they are. More of this,

Trump has lit a fire under people, you will not do this to defenceless families and childre.

Every single Democrat Rep and Senator should be barging down the doors of these centres. Make the media be there, make them stand up.

He has been one of my favorite Congresspeople for years now. He never stops demonstrating why, either.

this is going to blow up. Beto O'Rourke is in TX. Michael Avenatti is offering to provide representation to families who have had their children taken away.

SHAME on this administration for so many awful abuses to our planet, our people, our tax money being wasted...

but this is a test of our humanity. TrumpCo is betting we don't care enough. Let it be the point that even his ardent supporters start to feel profoundly ashamed of what they've let happen.

We are now a nation in the business of kidnapping children and holding them hostage...to influence Congress votes and bully his way into "winning". Any question about how he has acted in his business for over 50 years? That may explain the 5 bankruptcies that he has had. Most people don't appreciate being blackmailed by a tin god.

are at it. We put children in foster homes. We should first ask whether there is any chance to correct the situation in the home that has led to taking the children out of it. Often there may be no way, but we should make the effort when we can. We should help change the situation in which abuse is occurring.

And we certainly should not take a parent seeking refuge in the United States from his or her child unless absolutely required, say when hospitalization of the parent or child is necessary. Even then, visitation should be arranged if possible.

And we need to revisit the plight of homeless families in the United States. No child should be separated from his or her parents simply because the parents are too poor to afford housing.

Would they dare arrest a sitting US Rep? Let them. It'd make needed headlines. Yes, we need high profile folks there, exposing these cruel cockroaches who are scarring these poor babies for life.
