NEW: @SenBlumenthal and Rep. @JoaquinCastroTX have reintroduced Families Belong Together Act, which reunited separated families on U.S. soil and provides the survivors of the family separation policy with a pathway to citizenship. castro.house.gov/media-center/p… #FamiliesBelongTogether
Rep. Castro: "While we know we can never fully do right by the children who will be forever traumatized by this political decision, the Families Belong Together Act is the bare minimum our nation owes the families who separated as an apology and a promise to do right by them."
ACLU: "These families must be reunited in US & provided citizenship, resources, care, & commitment that family separation will never happen again. We applaud the sponsors of this bill, & call on members of Congress to support this critical legislation.” aclu.org/press-releases…

Detention Watch Network: "Throughout the pandemic, ICE failed to provide adequate supplies of soap and PPE to people in detention and to detention center staff. Testing was inadequate and irregular."
"In at least one detention facility—the Mesa Verde ICE Processing Center in Bakersfield, California—ICE purposefully rejected universal testing because it would be too difficult to quarantine all detained people who may test positive."
