Instead of welcoming and taking care of asylum-seeking children — as required by law — the Trump Administration is holding them hostage at undisclosed locations and expelling them without due process. #FreeTheFamilies

When @TXCivilRights uncovered this cruel operation, ICE refused to allow access to the detained kids, shoving one of their lawyers in an elevator. These children are coming to the U.S. to seek safety, but the Trump Administration is treating them inhumanely. #FreetheFamilies
Congress MUST Investigate the illegal detention of children and asylum-seekers at undisclosed locations, SIGN the @TXCivilRights petition: txcivilrights.org/hotels #FreeTheFamilies
These children are robbed of their rights and expelled to countries where they may be kidnapped, orphaned, or killed. This is to say nothing about holding them in undisclosed locations, potentially exposing these children to #COVID19. #FreeTheFamilies
Every single one of these children deserves to be safe and have the ability to seek asylum, but the Trump Administration is using the #coronavirus pandemic as an excuse to expedite their removal and shut down the asylum system. #FreeTheFamilies
Instead of traumatizing little kids and exposing them to a deadly virus, ICE should follow the law and protect vulnerable immigrants coming to the U.S. for protection. They must let legal advocates know where the children are. #FreeTheFamilies
Take action today — tell Congress to exercise oversight in order to protect asylum seekers, including children, from the pain and misery being caused by ICE at the border. fwd.us/action/protect… #FreeTheFamilies
