Seattle #CloseTheCamps protest denounces 'cruelty' used to deter immigration

SEATTLE -- There’s a hashtag trending: #CloseTheCamps. It’s part of a larger movement across the country for protests from people demanding an end to migrant camps along the southern border.

It was standing room only in the office of Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal on Tuesday.

“If you try to put my kids’ lives in danger then I’m going to do whatever the hell I can to save their lives,” said Jayapal.

Strong words after images of what many are calling terrible, inhumane conditions at migrant detention centers across the country.

“This is not who we are. I am so sorry that happened to you on our watch,” said one protester.

Dozens of protesters gathered at Pramila Jayapal's Office in Seattle demanding more action on immigration reform.
