Amnesty must visit detention facilities and document this crisis.

The reports have been horrible, John. Let Amnesty in now!

John,

Right now, children are facing a horrible reality at detention facilities at the
border.

Reports from the border are heartbreaking: children unable to brush their teeth,
bathe or change their clothes for weeks at U.S. Customs and Border Protection
facilities. And organizations like Amnesty International USA have not gotten
access to monitor conditions in the facilities, even though the need to shine a
light on them is more urgent than ever.

We cannot sit idly by and let this crisis unfold without sending our research
team to investigate. Demand that the Department of Homeland Security grant our
researchers access to detention facilities holding children at the border so
that we can document this crisis and advocate for change.

Whenever I visit child detention facilities, I cannot help but think of my own
children. Earlier this year, I accompanied three children as they attempted to seek
asylum in the United States. They were terrified and visibly shaking. I heard
Customs and Border Protection officers yelling at them.

There are still children at the border who need help: we need to visit these
facilities and document possible human rights violations now.

I saw for myself what these children are going through. There is no doubt in my
mind that they need to be in the care of the people who love them and cherish
them.

A detention facility is not a home: it’s punishment. Join me if you agree that Amnesty needs to document the child detention crisis
at the border.
