If Trump's Border Patrol is uncomfortable with reporters calling cages what they are, then maybe Border Patrol shouldn't be putting children and families in cages. Show some humanity. No to child incarceration. No to family separation. #FamiliesBelongTogether

This just in from @davidbegnaud : Border Patrol has reached out to @cbsthismorning and said they are "very uncomfortable" with the use of the word cages. They say it's not inaccurate and added that they may be cages but people are not being treated like animals.

@realDonaldTrump What remains clear is the need for Congress to enact a permanent solution to #ProtectDreamers and end the uncertainty governing the lives of immigrant youth, their families and communities. 6/6

In a recent report, @hrw & @amnestyusa document evidence of war crimes or crimes against humanity in Ethiopia’s Western Tigray Zone.   The U.S. SHOULD NOT be deporting Ethiopians to danger. @SecMayorkas must urgently provide #TPS for Ethiopia.
