Earlier today, a Congressional delegation visited a government-run concentration camp near the border to observe the conditions, which were undeniably terrible. No running water, crowding, no soap, no humanity, just cruelty.
They were greeted by protesters shouting "Close the camps!" and counter-protesters shouting "Four more years!" All of that was before they actually toured the facility.
Rep. Rashida Tlaib sent out a tweet after she emerged. "A father teared up telling me that his wife, 8 yr old daughter & 14 yr old son have been sleeping on concrete floors in a tent for 4 days," she wrote. "They haven't been able to shower, no real food (chips & juice boxes) & so scared of being separated. #ClosetheCamps"
Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez tweeted:
Just left the 1st CBP facility.
I see why CBP officers were being so physically &sexually threatening towards me.
Officers were keeping women in cells w/ no water & had told them to drink out of the toilets.
This was them on their GOOD behavior in front of members of Congress.— Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (@AOC) July 1, 2019
