Kamala Harris Accuses Trump of Crimes Against Humanity
Democratic Senator Kamala Harris of California has accused the Trump Administration of committing “crimes against humanity” because of the treatment being received by mothers and their children at the U.S.-Mexico border.
Senator Harris visited a migrant detention facility in California on Friday and she said she was shocked and appalled at what she saw going on. She went to the Otay Mesa Detention Facility near San Diego for the purpose of meeting with the migrant mothers whose children were taken away from them.
“This is outrageous,” Harris said, addressing a crowd of several hundred protesters outside the detention center. “This is clearly a crime against humanity that is being committed by the United States government and we have to stop it.”
Harris had earlier created a stir in Washington when she demanded the resignation of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen for what she called the “cruel” policy of separating children from their parents.
In her Friday speech Senator Harris heavily criticized the Trump administration for “giving no indication” of when families would be reunited or how the process of reuniting separated migrant families will work.
