We found out a separated father hanged himself in a Texas jail because it was leaked to the Washington Post. Had the leak never occurred, would the public and lawmakers have ever found out?
My office represents the daughter of a woman who died in CBP custody following her arrest earlier this summer. The public has never heard of this death because CBP is currently under no legal obligation to disclose it. Cc: @RepCummings @KamalaHarris @RepJayapal @RepRaulGrijalva
How many more? When the son of another family we represent died a slow, agonizing death from meningitis after spending an illegally prolonged stint in CBP’s Ursula holding cage, a local ME’s office told me they don’t normally autopsy because these bodies are constantly coming in

15 months ago this week, Jean Jimenez, a 27 Year-Old DREAMer with diagnosed schizophrenia and a prior history of suicide attempts, ended his life after spending 19 days in solitary confinement at ICE's for-profit Stewart immigration prison. 15 more have died since. Why?
2/ Through #FOIA litigation, courtlistener.com/recap/gov.usco…, Jean's family learned much more last week about how ICE responds to medical neglect of people in its custody -- especially people who die as a result. Here are two pages from the key document.
3/ Days before Jean got to Stewart, ICE and CoreCivic officials told @DHSOIG the dangerously low staffing levels there were a "ticking bomb." revealnews.org/blog/staff-des… The full docs are available here: wabe.org/wp-content/upl… ICE medical officials concurred: govtribe.com/project/ihsc-m…

Top Trump administration officials are testifying today before the Senate Judiciary committee on family separations and reunifications. Watch live here: judiciary.senate.gov/meetings/overs…
Republican committee chair @ChuckGrassley mentions reports that many of the 431 parents were deported without having made an informed choice about leaving their children behind. "We ought to be disturbed and I’m disturbed by these allegations," he said.
In his opening statement @DickDurbin cites @SecNielsen’s June tweet denying a family separation policy existed. He denounces the policy as “government sanctioned child abuse” and calls for Nielsen to step down

Parents & children are not just being separated at the border. They are being separated in every state by @ICEgov - an immoral force ripping apart families everywhere. It’s time to #AbolishICE so we can #FreeOurFuture and #EndFamilySeparation.
U.S. Citizens - Call Congress and ask them use their oversight authority to #EndFamilySeparation. We must ensure the rights of children and parents are respected, and our legal system is allowed to work. Call- (202)224-3121 to share this important message. #ReuniteFamiliesNow
@DHSGov - the @UN has recommended guidelines for human rights at international borders bit.ly/2typSbW . The actions the DHS is taking do not comply with these guidelines. Stop the human rights abuses! #ReuniteFamiliesNow #EndFamilyDetention @womensmarch @UnitedWeDream

has a bond fund to help parents reunite with their children. they're also raising $$ to provide lawyers to unaccompanied kids facing deportation - that's right, if a toddler can't pay for a lawyer, she's on her own. that's where @RAICESTEXAS comes in. 3/
