John,

In the wake of all the tragedies and awful things the Trump administration has done these last few months, it’s important we do not forget how this summer began — with a humanitarian crisis at our border.

In July, joined by my Congressional colleague Rep. Colin Allred, I traveled to the detention center in El Paso, Texas. I wanted to see for myself how Trump's cynically named "Migrant Protection Protocols" (MPP) are being implemented in these detention facilities and see how asylum seekers are being treated.

What I witnessed was both horrifying and heartbreaking and shows the Trump administration’s complete disregard for human life. I shared my experiences on Facebook last month, and I want to share it with you again, because it’s simply too important to forget.

The stories from the border are heartbreaking — and I witnessed only a small snapshot of them. We cannot allow this humanitarian crisis to continue. We must hold President Trump accountable.

Help me hold this President accountable: Sign our petition and join me in demanding that Congress and the White House end the humanitarian disaster at the border.

On behalf of these families and children, and on behalf of our nation’s humanitarian and inclusive values, we have to act now — before it’s too late.

Thank you,












Jared
