1. This is a national outrage and should be a huge story. A UK couple visiting Canada and driving on the border swerved to avoid an animal, ended up on the U.S. side -- and were arrested and imprisoned by our Border Patrol. With a 3-month-old baby! inquirer.com/news/berks-det…
2. They and other family members were taken to the government's notorious "baby jail" right here in Pa. -- Berks County Detention Center. The mom alleges in a sworn statement her baby has blotchy skin and an eye infection from the filthy conditions at Berks.
3. Pa. @GovernorTomWolf has emergency powers to shut down the Berks detention center over unsanitary conditions. Gov. Wolf, the fact that a baby jail exists in Pennsylvania is an embarrassment to our state. Do something! inquirer.com/opinion/commen…
4. That said, Gov. Wolf's inaction pales in comparison to the horrors perpetrated by the Trump administration and his goons in the Border Patrol and ICE. Locking up a baby over a wrong turn is why your America has become a human rights nightmare -30-
