Though you say USCIS is adhering to training requirements, I’m being told by your own staff that the 5½ week Federal Law Enforcement Training Academy basic training program has been discontinued as of mid-August. It would be good news to hear this isn’t true. — PolitiTweet.org
USCIS Acting Director Ken Cuccinelli @USCISCuccinelli
This is false. Specialized training for asylum officers is required by statute and we are adhering to that. @USCIS… https://t.co/z1g5w4XPi4
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Together, these actions are just another way for the Trump administration to make it harder for refugees to seek asylum. This kind of hateful behavior is unacceptable, and only makes the humanitarian crisis Donald Trump has created even worse. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
In addition to this news, I am also being told by a whistleblower that USCIS has terminated its basic training program for newly hired Asylum Officers, eliminating any baseline standard and making it easier for officers to be pressured into denying credible fear claims. — PolitiTweet.org

We must be far more aggressive in reducing America’s student loan burden. Instead DeVos and Trump are refusing to implement one of the few laws on the books already. — PolitiTweet.org

Adding trauma by imposing indefinite detention & withholding adequate mental health care is unforgivable. We will be judged for what we are allowing to happen to these kids. Congress must pass the "End Cruelty to Migrant Children Act" & end this atrocious chapter in our history. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
We cannot forget who we’re fighting for: children who have experienced extreme trauma and need our help, compassion, and protection. We’re talking about “children who had been kidnapped or raped, some by members of gangs or drug cartels." (1/2) https://t.co/IIegkbetdW — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
This situation remains a disaster. Under current law, DHS is barred from using information shared by HHS. Congress needs an immediate response so that we can further assess the impacts Trump Admin threats are having on children in govt. care. Read more: https://t.co/CPBYPzW6hj — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
NEWS: Due to calculated decisions by the Trump administration, 4,000+ children face months or years in detention bc of a shortage of sponsors. I’m demanding answers from HHS on threats to share confidential information w/ ICE, & their impact on securing sponsors for kids in need. https://t.co/Lj4IJ1uYTV — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
This snatch & grab heist by Donald Trump is unacceptable. Somehow he's gone from "Mexico will pay for the wall," to forcing the U.S. military to defer construction projects to pay for his wall. This is nothing more than a vanity project. https://t.co/5fFG4waB90 — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Earthquake preparedness is a huge deal for Oregonians, as warnings of a future “big one,” tsunamis, & damage to our energy grid loom. That’s why I’ve fought to maintain the federal research funding that is critical to protecting at-risk communities. https://t.co/RpGfeLP4MU — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
That’s why, as we commemorate and celebrate #LaborDay2019, I’m asking my colleagues to support my new bill, “Fair Share for Workers Act,” to make sure that American families today have the same kind of opportunities mine did when I was kid. https://t.co/JwSNpzJCDx — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
My dad was a union machinist. From his wages, my parents bought a modest ranch house, took camping vacation, saved some for retirement, & helped me go to college. Today that’s virtually unimaginable. Workers are under attack as the rich and powerful get richer and more powerful. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Another weekend of bloodshed in this country. When will it be enough for @senatemajldr to stand up to the NRA? https://t.co/tzJ7sdZBkK — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
No matter where you live, or what your feelings on the climate crisis are, please take a few minutes out of your day to read this. So many Americans are at risk, and these threats look different all across the country. https://t.co/Y38WJcZaYI — PolitiTweet.org

Powerful and tragic. Real people fleeing real violence. This isn’t a game. We must restore an immigration policy that treats refugees with respect and decency. — PolitiTweet.org

Loopholes for bad behavior that further help the wealthy to the detriment of everyone else need to be closed, & Congress needs to stop incentivizing corporate behavior that hurts workers. Passing the Fair Share for Workers Act is a good first step. https://t.co/sxPZL6dzqr https://t.co/IXogy4RykL — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
It’s wrong to focus solely on helping CEOs/huge companies when we’ve seen time & again that that aid simply gets absorbed by those at the top, & is never seen by anyone else. We all fare better when workers get a fair share of the profits they help create. https://t.co/ibujBi2oGY — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
Better wages gives families the chance to lift themselves out of poverty, it gives children the chance at an even bigger, brighter future than their parents had, and it ensures that retirees are able to live in dignity after a lifetime of hard work. — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
I’m introducing a new bill that would raise the corporate tax rate on companies where the CEO makes more than 30x what the average worker makes, and that surtax would increase as the pay disparity goes up. https://t.co/rNdHS9ZQ8W — PolitiTweet.org
Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley
THREAD: Did you know the average CEO of an S&P 500 company earns 287x the pay of their median employee – and that those are the people Republicans decided to help w/ their $2 trillion tax “plan”? Congress should fight for workers, so here’s what I’m doing about it: https://t.co/NpaTamduKz — PolitiTweet.org

UPDATE: I'm told from sources inside USCIS that they are also pulling most officers in the LA and SF offices from affirmative asylum cases, and in-person interviews in Portland and Seattle have been halted. The SF & LA regions already face a backlog of nearly 70,000 cases. — PolitiTweet.org

When energy companies, automakers, and electric utilities oppose your environmental rollbacks, you know something is wrong. Under Trump, “EPA” stands for “Environmental Pollution Agency.” https://t.co/UtcHkyeWja — PolitiTweet.org

We’re heading into peak hurricane season in the Atlantic basin, with yet another hurricane barreling towards the US, and Donald Trump is diverting millions of dollars in disaster money from FEMA. Where have I seen this story before? Oh yes. Literally, this time last year. — PolitiTweet.org

A past scarred by atrocities. A future left in question. This is the reality Rohingya refugees face every day, & why I refuse to allow Congress or the White House to ignore their plight. Honored to count OR's Rohingya as my neighbors. You are welcome here. https://t.co/CqZ2UzVYpp — PolitiTweet.org

It’s bad enough to have a Congress that drags its feet on the climate crisis, but this makes it perfectly clear that we also have a president who is belligerently against protecting the planet. This is what it looks like to have the White House in the oil industry’s pocket. — PolitiTweet.org

He lied to farmers, told them he’d protect their livelihoods. He lied to sick Americans, told them he’d protect their care. He lied to the LGBTQ community, told them he’d protect their rights. Now he’s so desperate, he’s asking people to break the law. https://t.co/QCCcKDw1MR — PolitiTweet.org
