Letter to the Hon. L. Francis Cissna, Director of US Citizenship and Immigration Services - Members of Congress Probe DHS over Circumstances Leading to TPS Termination for Nepal and Honduras
Rep. Jan Schakowsky, ...
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. 4, 2018
Tweet - "Federal judge, appointed by Pres. George W. Bush, ruled that the Trump Admin's justification for terminating #DACA was "conclusory" and "accompanied by a hodgepodge of illogical or post hoc policy assertions.""
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."
Sen. Dick Durbin
Aug. 2, 2018
Letter to Michael Pompeo, Secretary of State - Reinstate TPS for El Salvador, Honduras, and Haiti
Rep. Robin Kelly, ...
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 - "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."
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 - "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. 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
Aug. 1, 2018
Tweet - "Medical experts have told us that an ICE detention center is no place for a child. DHS' own medical consultants say family detention poses a "high risk of harm to children and their families." It's not "summer camp.""
Sen. Dick Durbin

Sen. Dick Durbin
July 31, 2018
Tweet - ""Government-sanctioned child abuse." That's what the American Academy of Pediatrics called President Trump's zero tolerance child separation policy, and this story shows why. It's heartbreaking."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 31, 2018
Durbin Statement On Completion Of Internal Investigation Of Heartland Alliance Into Allegations Of Physical & Emotional Abuse At Chicago Facility

Durbin Calls On DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen To Step Down In Wake Of Failure To Reunite "Deleted" Families
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."
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 31, 2018
Tweet - "On Secretary Nielsen's watch, nearly 2,700 children have been separated from their parents & more than 700 children still have not been reunited with their families -- including over 400 whose parents were apparently deported & more than 90 whose parents cannot be located at all."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 31, 2018
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 29, 2018
Tweet - "A combination of cruelty and incompetence by the Trump Administration brought us to this day. Now they must reunite the 711 "deleted" children still separated from their parents. We will not rest until they do."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 27, 2018
Tweet - "One in three children who were forcibly removed from their parents arms remain separated today. The United States of America is a caring and compassionate nation, but this humanitarian disaster created by our President has tarnished our reputation around the world."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 27, 2018
Congressman Krishnamoorthi On Trump Administration's Family Separation And Detention Policy: "A Mockery Of American Values"
Rep. Subramanian Krishnamoorthi
July 26, 2018
Tweet - "I'm urging the Department of Justice Inspector General to investigate DOJ's role in President Trump's cruel & immoral "zero-tolerance" immigration policy that has separated thousands of families. AG Sessions must be held accountable for his key role in this humanitarian crisis."
Sen. Dick Durbin
July 26, 2018
Letter to the Honorable Michael E. Horowitz, Inspector General for the U.S. Department of Justice - On Deadline Day to Reunite Separated Families, Feinstein, Durbin, Colleagues Call for Investigation of "Zero Tolerance" Immigration Policy
Sen. Ladda Duckworth, ...
July 26, 2018
Tweet - "Even as we mark the court ordered deadline, hundreds of children who the Trump Administration forcibly separated from their parents are still not reunited with their families. What an outrage - I will keep fighting until every child is reunited with their parent."
