Today caucus-goers in Iowa woke up to more than a dozen kids in cages all over the city of Des Moines.

We came to remind people that this remains a reality & that the issue cannot be pushed under the rug.

🚨 #DontLookAway this is a humanitarian crisis.🚨
#IowaCaucus
There are more than 41,000 people in immigration detention right now.

More than 60,000 asylum-seekers have been sent back to Mexico, where hundreds have been murdered, tortured & kidnapped.

And the list goes on.
Over 2 million people have been deported in the past dozen years.

And more than 800,000 DACA recipients could soon be open to deportation.
Hundreds have died crossing the southern border & in less than 2 years, SIX children have died in U.S. custody

This is a reality we must face as a nation and work to prevent.

We must right wrongs.
That's why we're in Iowa today.

Because we know how to create a sane, rational immigration system that gives justice to those who have suffered its enforcement. That means halting all deportations, decriminalizing immigration, ending detention and demilitarizing our border.
These are all things the #MigrantJusticePlatform would do. We must ensure these policies are enacted immediately.

#DontLookAway any further. We can't afford to.
