Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "The Department of Education urging a school to misrepresent its accreditation status to students would be scandalous. If true, this would represent a new level of betrayal of students by Sec. DeVos and her #4profit college cronies at the Department."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "The zero-tolerance immigration policy has been an unmitigated disaster from start to finish. The Trump Administration never kept sufficient records for the kids they forcibly separated from their parents, and seemingly had no intention to reunite them. Inexcusable."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "It's false to say that previous administrations had a policy of intentionally separating children from their parents. This policy began in April when AG Sessions ordered zero-tolerance. It started as a bright idea in the Trump White House and ended up being a disaster."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 1, 2018

Rep. Mike Quigley
Aug. 1, 2018

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 1, 2018

Calling for the Release of Pastor Andrew Brunson
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 1, 2018

Rep. Mike Quigley, ...
July 31, 2018
Tweet - "The Trump Admin's child separation policy is more than a bureaucratic lapse in judgment. It is -- and was -- a cruel policy inconsistent with the bedrock values of this nation. We can have border security without bullying. We can be safe without treating toddlers as terrorists."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 31, 2018
Tweet - "The Trump Administration should own up to its cruel decision to forcibly separate children at the border, and the humanitarian disaster that ensued in its aftermath. There is no one else to blame for this chaos."
