RT @RepJoeKennedy: Spent the morning in TX at Clint and El Paso detention facilities. Big takeaways -- 1) @CBP was very resistant to Congressional oversight. They tried to restrict what we saw, take our phones, block photos and video. Atmosphere was contentious and uncooperative.

RT @KatzOnEarth: @Anna_Giaritelli I’ve been outside all the facilities she’s touring today around El Paso, and according to everything I’ve seen the part about her leaving the tour is a lie. @AOC was inside each one for the maximum amount of time—first one in, last one out. https://t.co/HeH53W2nTx

RT @AOC: This was in fact the type of toilet we saw in the cell. Except there was just one, and the sink portion was not functioning - @AyannaPressley smartly tried to open the faucet, and nothing came out. So the women were told they could drink out of the bowl. https://t.co/rcu9Rt6B2x

RT @AOC: Meanwhile, one refrain we‘ve heard is that people are overcrowded in CBP concentration camps because the shelters (which are humane places where families can stay together) are full. So we went to a shelter. They said that wasn’t true at all. Only 150/500 spots were filled. https://t.co/E0yPQ3o7CC

RT @JoaquinCastrotx: And a boy, perhaps three years old, pressed his face against the dirty glass of a locked steel door. He smiled big and tried to talk to us through the thick glass. His family — or another — ate Ramen on the floor a few feet away.

RT @JoaquinCastrotx: The tents outside, used during the surge recently, were dark and surrounded by chain link fences. The showers — mobile units — were dank, dirty and only too small in number for the hundreds of people there just a few weeks ago.

RT @JoaquinCastrotx: They asked us to take down their names and let everyone know they need help. They also feared retribution. We then went to the Clint Border Patrol Station that warehouses children and some parents.

RT @JoaquinCastrotx: Many said they had not bathed for 15 days. Some had been separated from children, some had been held for more than 50 days. Several complained they had not received their medications, including one for epilepsy. Members of Congress comforted them when the women broke down.

RT @JoaquinCastrotx: Here’s what we found: At the El Paso Border Patrol Station #1, women from Cuba, some grandmothers, crammed into a prison-like cell with one toilet, but no running water to drink from or wash their hands with. Concrete floors, cinder-block walls, steel toilets.

RT @JoaquinCastrotx: Our border patrol system is broken. And part of the reason it stays broken is because it’s kept secret. The American people must see what is being carried out in their name. The @HispanicCaucus led a delegation of members of Congress to visit 2 border patrol facilities.

RT @AOC: Members of Congress had to surrender their phones before today’s CBP trip. But @JoaquinCastrotx was able to get a device in. This photo is of the women we spoke to. We asked their permission to photograph - they said yes, please share what’s happening. https://t.co/4ZhOMlEBVA

RT @AOC: Even if they let you in, these women told us CBP did a lot of “cleaning up” before we arrived. They were moved into that room from outside tents before our arrival. They said they’d gone 15 days w/o a shower, & were allowed to start bathing 4 days ago (when visit was announced). https://t.co/gozTUeaWa5

RT @CAPAC: These @CBP officials cannot be trusted to work with detained migrant families or represent the United States government in any capacity. @CAPAC joins @HispanicCaucus in calling for these officers to be removed from their posts and asking @DHSOIG to launch a full investigation. https://t.co/S7FfcTwva6

RT @RashidaTlaib: Even through the hateful slurs, I won't back down. We went in there to be the eyes for the American people, to tell the truth about what is happening w/ children & families at the border. This system is broken & throwing money at it won't work. @HispanicCaucus #CloseTheCamps

RT @ABCPolitics: Rep. Ayanna Pressley: "I learned a long time ago that when change happens it's either because people see the light or they feel the fire.

RT @RepDean: Just left the first CBP facility. The conditions are far worse than we ever could have imagined. 15 women in their 50s- 60s sleeping in a small concrete cell, no running water. Weeks without showers. All of them separated from their families. This is a human rights crisis.

RT @RashidaTlaib: A little boy not more than 4 years old asked me where his Papa was through a glass door. An Abuela hasn't seen her grandson in 40 days & has no idea where he is. A woman, pregnant w/ her first child, just wants to be w/ her family in FL. #CloseTheCamps
