Sen. Dick Durbin, ...
Aug. 16, 2018
Tweet - "Don't be fooled: Judge Kavanaugh's record is being scrubbed by a GOP lawyer who was Kavanaugh's WH Deputy, who is picking & choosing which Kavanaugh docs to share. Not transparent, not objective, & not part of the non-partisan National Archives process."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 16, 2018
Tweet - "Take note: Republicans are trying to ignore the plain words of what Judge Kavanaugh said under oath in 2006: "I was not involved and am not involved in the questions about the rules governing detention of combatants." This statement covers his time as WH Staff Secretary."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 15, 2018

Tweet - "6 years ago, the government began accepting the first applications for the #DACA program, changing the lives of 800,000 young immigrants who could now receive temporary protection from deportation, study, and legally work in the only country they have ever known. #ProtectDreamers"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 15, 2018
Tweet - " I've shared over 100 Dreamer stories on the Senate floor. Despite the contributions #Dreamers are making in our communities, Pres Trump heartlessly ended the #DACA program last year. He broke his promise to them & uses Dreamers as a bargaining chip for an anti-immigrant agenda."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 15, 2018
Tweet - "Fortunately, federal court injunctions have temporarily allowed people who previously had DACA to renew their status. The Trump Administration should fully restore DACA instead of refusing to defend it in court."
Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 13, 2018
Tweet - "Don't be fooled: Republicans are only revealing documents from Judge Kavanaugh's WH tenure that they want you to see. Only 1% of Kavanaugh's WH records have been made public. This is why we need the neutral National Archives process. #WhatAreTheyHiding"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 11, 2018
Tweet - "Senate Republicans want to wrap up Judge Kavanaugh's hearing before the National Archives releases documents - which Republicans themselves requested - about the work Kavanaugh did in the White House. This is unprecedented and unfair to the American people."

Rep. Sean Casten
Aug. 10, 2018
Tweet - "It's been a month and a half since a judge ordered the Trump Admin to reunite the families it separated. How are there still over 500 kids yet to see their parents? The zero-tolerance policy, and this incompetent attempt to reunite children, is a stain on our great nation."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 10, 2018
Tweet - "Take note: Unless it was produced by the National Archives, every document you see from Judge Kavanaugh's White House tenure was selectively chosen for release by his former deputy, Bill Burck. This is not an objective process."

Aug. 4, 2018
Tweet - "The only WH documents Republicans want revealed before Judge Kavanaugh's hearing are documents that have been pre-screened & hand-picked by his former deputy, who is also Steve Bannon's and Don McGahn's lawyer. You can't make this up. #WhatAreTheyHiding"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 4, 2018

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 4, 2018

Rep. Jan Schakowsky, ...
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. 2, 2018
Tweet - "The American people got to see 99% of Justice Kagan's White House records before her Supreme Court hearing. What percentage of Judge Kavanaugh's White House records will Republicans allow the American people to see before his hearing? Half? A third?"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "As we consider the Kavanaugh nomination -- a nominee the public knows little about -- we should follow the same standards of disclosure that nominees of Democratic presidents were held to. It's about transparency and fairness. #ReleaseTheRecords"
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "What is the Trump Administration doing to reunite the 711 "lost" children with their parents, who were forcibly removed from their mothers & fathers at the border? We cannot rest until every child is safely back in their parents' arms."
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 - "Trump Admin officials told us this week that giving them the authority to indefinitely detain parents & kids together would help solve the crisis at the border they created. Locking up children in detention facilities isn't a solution, it's just more cruelty by this White House."

Rep. Mike Quigley, ...
Aug. 1, 2018

Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 1, 2018
Tweet - "Trump Administration ignored warnings from their agency's own public health experts that separating a child from his or her parent would cause trauma. Inexcusable, and nothing short of gross negligence."

Tweet - "In the name of the 711 lost children, the families that have been "deleted" by her agency, and common decency, I'm calling on Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, the architect of this humanitarian disaster, to step down."

Sen. Dick Durbin
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 26, 2018

Tweet - "The only WH documents Republicans want revealed before Judge Kavanaugh's hearing are documents that have been pre-screened & hand-picked by his former deputy, who is also Steve Bannon's and Don McGahn's lawyer. You can't make this up. #WhatAreTheyHiding"
Sen.Dick Durbin
Aug. 4, 2018

Sen.Dick Durbin
Aug. 4, 2018
Tweet - "The Trump Administration should be pointing the finger at themselves. They created this humanitarian disaster, and it's their responsibility to solve it by reuniting the kids who were forcibly separated from their parents at the border."
Sen.Dick Durbin
Aug. 3, 2018
Tweet - "Nearly 600. This is completely unacceptable. I won't rest until the Trump Administration reunites every child who was forcibly separated and is held responsible for this zero-tolerance humanitarian disaster."

Rep.Jan Schakowsky, ...
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. 2, 2018
Tweet - "The American people got to see 99% of Justice Kagan's White House records before her Supreme Court hearing. What percentage of Judge Kavanaugh's White House records will Republicans allow the American people to see before his hearing? Half? A third?"
Sen.Dick Durbin
Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "As we consider the Kavanaugh nomination -- a nominee the public knows little about -- we should follow the same standards of disclosure that nominees of Democratic presidents were held to. It's about transparency and fairness. #ReleaseTheRecords"

Aug. 2, 2018
Tweet - "What is the Trump Administration doing to reunite the 711 "lost" children with their parents, who were forcibly removed from their mothers & fathers at the border? We cannot rest until every child is safely back in their parents' arms."
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 - "Trump Admin officials told us this week that giving them the authority to indefinitely detain parents & kids together would help solve the crisis at the border they created. Locking up children in detention facilities isn't a solution, it's just more cruelty by this White House."

Rep.Mike Quigley, ...
Aug. 1, 2018

Sen.Dick Durbin
Aug. 1, 2018
Tweet - "Trump Administration ignored warnings from their agency's own public health experts that separating a child from his or her parent would cause trauma. Inexcusable, and nothing short of gross negligence."

Sen.Dick Durbin
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."
