This week marks a year since I visited the Port Isabel Reunification Center in Los Fresnos, TX to find out what was really happening to immigrant families ripped apart at our border. I saw right away: It wasn’t a unification center—it was a prison.
I saw the same thing at a @CBP processing center in McAllen, TX. I'll never forget listening to traumatized moms and children begging to be reunited. Let me make this clear: I'll never stop fighting Trump's cruel immigration policies.

One way I’m fighting is through my plan to end for-profit detention centers, which have made millions implementing Trump’s cruel immigration policies. Today 73% of detained immigrants are held in private detention facilities. Under my plan, we’ll end this. medium.com/@teamwarren/en…

Women of color face a steeper climb to provide financial security for their families because of systemic discrimination. On Day One of a Warren administration, I’ll take a series of executive actions to help boost their wages and leadership opportunities. medium.com/@teamwarren/va…
The gender pay gap hits women of color particularly hard. When future employers use salary history to make new offers, they trap women of color in lower wages. Black and Brown women are disproportionately mistreated at work. Their path to higher-level management jobs is rockier.
The government has helped perpetuate the systemic discrimination that has denied women of color equal opportunities, and it’s time to right those wrongs. I've got a plan to boost their wages, open up career advancement, and fight systemic discrimination.

The practice of auctioning off American diplomacy to the highest bidder must end. I'm pledging to end the corrupt practice of selling cushy diplomatic posts to wealthy donors—and I call on everyone running for President to do the same. Read my full plan: medium.com/@teamwarren/re…
To take a meaningful leadership position in the world, protect our interests, and avoid conflicts, we need world-class diplomats. But through a toxic combination of malice and neglect, Donald Trump has declared war on the State Department.
Senior career officials at the State Department have been pushed out & others have resigned in protest. We've lost 60% of our career ambassadors & 20% of our most experienced civil servants. Too often they've been replaced with totally unqualified campaign donors & Trump cronies.

The Supreme Court's ruling blocking the citizenship question on the 2020 Census is a welcome relief—but the Court has left open the possibility that the Trump administration could still add a citizenship question to the Census. And if they do, I have a plan for that.
If the Trump admin somehow manages to get that question back on the Census, I will cancel that rigged Census and replace it with a fair and accurate one. And I'll make this promise right now: A Warren administration would never include a citizenship question on the Census.
Here's how this would work. First, I would immediately direct all executive agencies to ignore the tainted Census data until a new Census is complete. States receive nearly $600 billion per year from 16 programs tied to Census data, & we won't allow a tainted Census to skew that.

Here's how to end the border crisis:
1. @realDonaldTrump enters an executive order under 8 USC 1182 that stops ALL IMMIGRATION for 180 days.
2. @POTUS notifies foreign countries our borders are closed.
3. Notify Mexico that if they can't keep people from crossing, we
will establish a perimeter on their side of the border at least two miles wide that we will secure by any means necessary to protect our sovereignty. Send the military to fly it, secure it and patrol it.
4. Stop all public assistance to illegals. Round them up, bus them back.
5. Keep families together on bus deep into Mexico
6. No TAX DOLLARS for any groups helping "resettlements."Catholic charities and others have turned it into billion dollar business
7. VOTE OUT OF OFFICE EVERY SENATOR OR CONGRESSMAN WHO CRAMMED THE HORRIBLE SPENIDING BILL THROUGH

UN Human Rights commissioner regarding US immigration policies:

"The thought that any State would seek to deter parents by inflicting such abuse on children is unconscionable."

The @UNHumanRights spoke out early last year about Session, republican GOP and Trump's inhumane policy of separating families..
The Trump administration stopped cooperating with UN investigations into human rights violations in America theguardian.com/law/2019/jan/0…

I followed the money on Google. Basically, Soros funded agencies like Pueblos Sin Fronteras (in CHGO, affiliated with Illegal Immigration Advocacy Org. ), La Familia Latina Unida (founded in 2001) is affiliated with Centro Sin Fronteras.

1/ President Donald Trump tweeted yesterday morning that law enforcement has been “strongly notified to watch closely for any ILLEGAL VOTING.”

We decided to check who’s been notified about what, exactly...

2/ We asked the White House @PressSec to clarify. Who sent a notice? Who received it?

No answer.
@PressSec 3/ We asked @TheJusticeDept. They declined to comment.

The DOJ is sending election monitors to 19 states, as is typical.
