I've seen a lot of ink over the last two weeks attempting to explain the Taliban's lightning takeover of this beautiful country. Biden botched the withdrawal. Afghans are tribal. The Taliban wouldn't have been able to if they weren't popular. Pakistan enabled them.
I won't opine on the accuracy of these statements. People a lot smarter than I can duke it out. My calling is to help the traumatized and voiceless and take their stories to lawmakers to give them a voice. Same I did in Tijuana and Texas and at Dulles during the Muslim Ban.
I went to Dulles again on Sunday night when I found out a young Afghan had been detained there for nearly 3 days. No lawyer, no info. We dutifully filed our G-28's even though they're routinely ignored by CBP. (I've seen this movie before. A lot.)

Felipe Alonzo-Gomez, an 8-year-old Guatemalan boy detained by Customs and Border Protection, died in custody in the early hours of Christmas Day — the second child to die in government custody this month.
One of the most important things we did in 2018 was work to reunite migrant parents with their children, work we'll keep doing in 2019.

Felipe was with his father when he died, but clearly he did not get the care he needed. washingtonpost.com/national/healt…
The Trump administration’s treatment of immigrant families is cruel, reckless, and part of a disturbing pattern of malice toward immigrants. It has to stop. #NoHumanIsIllegal #NoBanNoWallNoRaids #SPLCWinterReadingList splcenter.org/news/2018/06/2…
