Today, we met with 12 more detained mothers one on one in CA and TX to hear their stories and agree to assist them in their efforts to find their children. The sadness and pain they are experiencing cannot be described. We will not rest until this policy is changed. #Basta

I have witnessed a lot of drama, pain, and sadness in my legal career. And I have had many moments of doing everything in my power to hold myself together. I have never witnessed anything this upsetting. I will never forget. Toughest day of my career by far. Perhaps of my life.

And right there with you, and its upsetting us all too. This is unacceptable. Congress should stop everything from happening there until he reverses his policy, or demand he resigns, or oust him. This is beyond high crimes, intentionally and permanently damaging these children is child abuse , and no one should allow this to continue , period. Those that do need to be voted out of office. Our president in this country is now abusing children.
