Dem Senator Blocked From Entering Immigration Detention Center
Source: The Daily Beast
Sen. Jeff Merkley was barred from entering an immigration-detention facility Sunday in Texas. The Oregon Democrat attempted to gain access to the complex to confirm that hundreds of refugee children were being held there. In a video shared on his social-media pages, Merkley said: Im going to try to enter a facility in Brownsville, Texas, run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement. I am told that this former Walmart may currently be housing hundreds of refugee children who have been separated from their parents. Merkley was barred from entering the facility, tweeting: I was barred entry. Asked repeatedly to speak to a supervisorhe finally came out and said he cant tell us anything. Police were called on us. Children should never be ripped from their families & held in secretive detention centers.

(36,829 posts)Right wingers were all aglow about Jade Helm and the use of closed Walmarts with tunnels for nefarious govt ops.
Maybe they were ahead of the times and did not know it.

(9,895 posts)The GOP is nothing more than a Vichy party now, enthralled to Trumpism and the populism they fear so much.
There is a cancer on the Republican Party.
I think the NAZI separated families before they killed people. The GOP is just so UNCHRISTIAN and just a bunch of PAGANS who worship EVIL. I hope enough retarded GOP people vote to DRAIN THE CESSPOOL........
