There are many decent and dedicated CBP officers and agents. I know because I’ve met and worked with them for years. But there is a culture of impunity and misconduct at CBP that must be fixed. https://t.co/xHyuknyT54 — PolitiTweet.org

Congress provides vital oversight. @DHSMcAleenan and @ICEgov failed to respond to my initial request — but I’ll cont. to push until they do their duty. Family separation is too imp. an issue to let this slide. See my followup lttr here: https://t.co/olOJehVYEF #Appropriations — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

CBP has long had dual missions — enforcement & humanitarian. The dehumanization of migrants along our Southern border is a direct result of its failure to embrace its humanitarian role. A top-to-bottom culture shift is needed, and needed NOW. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

This has ALWAYS been the Trump admin.'s endgame. It’s never been abt citizenship but abt gerrymandering voting distr. to benefit “Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites.” It’s changing rules to win elections w/ a minority of the vote. And it’s un-American. https://t.co/uDre7263fY — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

U.S. asylum laws clearly prohibit this; the Pres. cannot circumvent the law simply because he opposes America's long history as a refuge for those legitimately fleeing life-threatening conditions. This is an admin. that feels unbound by law or decency. https://t.co/EgIFEi7jGb — PolitiTweet.org

The Trump admin. is CHOOSING to conduct these family raids. Lack of detention space is NOT an acceptable reason to separate families. @ICEgov blaming hotels for separations is absurd. Their cruelty is a choice, & it’s as un-American as it is avoidable. https://t.co/5r3c97VvoS) — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

Still no response from DHS or ICE about whether they’ve authorized separating parents from their children as part of their planned mass raids. Unfortunately it appears the administration is planning on, or stumbling into, Family Separation 2.0. This is premeditated cruelty. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

Reports that Carla Provost, Border Patrol's Chief, not only knew about but was a member of the secret Facebook group that posted racist & sexist content are alarming. Our leaders should encourage our best instincts, not enable our worst. If true she can't continue to lead the BP — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

Yet, Pres. Trump’s efforts to obtain detailed citizenship records administratively is JUST AS STAINED by the lies and partisan motivation. This isn’t about citizenship. It’s about gerrymandering voting districts to benefit “Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites.” And it’s wrong. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

It’s great news—both for an accurate #Census, and for our system of checks and balances—that Pres. Trump will not try to defy the Supreme Court by adding a citizenship Q. His admin lied to me & others about their partisan motivation, & EVERY court found it was illegal. — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

The still-unanswered question that @SenFeinstein, @SenatorDurbin, & I demand to know: Has @DHSMcAleenan & @ICEgov authorized the inhumane separation of children from their parents? Will these raids amount to Family Separation 2.0? Read our letter here: https://t.co/xpM1de2Xu8 — PolitiTweet.org

Sen. Patrick Leahy @SenatorLeahy

Pres. Trump is targeting 1000s of migrant FAMILIES for arrest & deportation across the US beginning this weekend. Indiscriminately targeting families who pose NO THREAT to our communities is wrong & an enormous waste of enforcement resources. https://t.co/mUnMh3d3fD — PolitiTweet.org
