This is a truly heinous & sickening way to treat human beings.
By the way, the majority of immigrants being detained have ZERO criminal record.
Republicans hold the majority. It's past time they join Democrats in calling for real oversight of these human rights violations.

Make sure everyone knows: Whether you are on private insurance or get coverage from the marketplace, understand that your premiums will go UP because of Trump's Big Ugly bill.
And with 17 million Americans losing health care, there will be reduced services & longer wait times just about everywhere.
Have you heard about the Roadless Rule? It's a policy to protect forestland across the country that Trump is repealing.
A legislative fix will take time—the best way to fix this is to speak up now. Help get the word out.
We need to pressure Republicans to reverse course.
People actually want Congress to solve the child care crisis—don’t tell me we can’t afford to invest in child care after Republicans just blew up the national debt to give tax breaks to billionaires who don’t need them.
Let's pass the Child Care for Working Families Act.
Republicans voted to defund PBS this week, claiming it was to address the national debt (minus $1 billion).
This was just after they added trillions to the deficit to pass tax breaks for billionaires (plus $4 trillion).
Maybe they're going after Count Von Count for a reason.
Harborview Medical Center in Seattle provides high-level trauma care for AK, ID, WY, & MT.
Republican health care cuts are putting a major strain on them and every hospital.
A rural hospital fund doesn't help Harborview or the people in Republican states who count on them.
We invest in humanitarian relief because it’s the smart thing to do for America, but it’s worth saying it’s also the right thing to do.
I wish Republicans would stop lying about what this kind of lifesaving aid means.
I hope you’ll spend a minute with this important story.
Today I held a press call to make clear GOP health care cuts hitting hospitals in WA state will also hurt people in WY, AK, MT, & ID.
Because hospitals in our state provide essential, high-level specialty care to people across the entire Mountain West.
Right now, Trump is blocking billions in funding for our public schools, so I'm blocking and slowing down his nominee for the Department of Education.
He's released some of the funding he's illegally withheld, but we need to keep up the pressure until every dollar gets out the door.
Republicans made clear their top priorities were tax breaks for billionaires and kicking families off Medicaid.
I wrote a bill to make sure the typical family doesn't pay more than $15 a day for child care, while finally setting us on the path to universal pre-k.
Trump pushed conspiracy theories about Epstein's heinous crimes. Now he's being extremely defensive regarding the Epstein files.
It raises legitimate questions.
Why not just release the files? What is he hiding?
Trump's budget chief, Russ Vought, has said he wants the appropriations process to be LESS bipartisan.
This is a man who ignores our laws and flaunts it.
My message to my Republican colleagues this afternoon? STAND UP for Congress as a co-equal branch of government.
BREAKING: At 2 AM, Republicans just passed a bill to defund public broadcasting and lifesaving aid because Trump told them to—they wouldn’t even protect rural radio or emergency alerts.
Congress should decide what we spend and what we cut—not Trump and not Russ Vought.
I voted NO.
It's past midnight—do you know where your Senator is?
I'm on the Senate floor ready to vote NO on cuts to PBS, emergency alerts, and global health investments.
I won't vote for DOGE cuts, because I don't take my orders from Donald Trump or Russ Vought.
It's past 10pm on a Wednesday night, and Republicans are still working to defund PBS, rural radio, lifesaving aid, and more.
Democrats have been forcing amendment votes for hours, and we're still at it.
I'm voting NO on these DOGE cuts, and so should every Senator.
🚨Did you know that RIGHT NOW Republicans are working to defund public broadcasting? Everything from shows our kids love like Sesame Street to local news to emergency alerts.
I'm on the Senate floor forcing as many amendment votes as possible to save this funding.
Public broadcasting provides free, educational programming that helps our kids grow and learn, whether it's Daniel Tiger or Sesame Street.
We need to send a message to Trump: Big Bird is not on the chopping block, and let's send these Republican funding cuts to Oscar's place, AKA the trash can.
Public broadcasting funds support local stations, which help with emergency planning.
In fact, many stations use their towers to actually deliver emergency alerts to people's cellphones when cell towers go down.
Do Republicans want people to have LESS warning in an emergency?
Here's a history lesson for my Republican colleagues. When President Clinton wanted a line-item veto, I said NO.
I came to the Senate to fight for my state, not to weaken or surrender my responsibilities to ANY President.
If Republicans agree, they need to vote NO on these DOGE cuts.
