According to media reports, the Trump Administration plans to appeal the Flores settlement - a legally binding agreement to protect the best interests of children that has been in place for over 20 years.
And they are asking Congress to pass legislation overturning the Flores agreement and authorizing them to jail children indefinitely.
The Trump Administration’s goal is clear – in the midst of the world’s worst refugee crisis, they want to make the situation for families fleeing persecution as painful as possible – in order to deter them from seeking safe haven in our country.
Let me be just as clear. This Senator will do everything in his power to stop legislation that would authorize the Trump Administration to throw migrant children in jail and throw away the key. It is immoral and un-American.
