Congressman Eliot L. Engel and 56 of his Democratic colleagues have signed on as original cosponsors of a resolution condemning the President and his administration’s policies toward asylum seekers at the U.S.-Mexico border. The resolution comes on the heels of the Trump Administration’s latest efforts to cut off protections for asylum-seekers through Executive Order.
“It is no secret that the President has created a horrific, cruel and inhumane humanitarian crisis at our southern border,” Engel said. “DHS, ICE, and CBP have separated families, caged asylum-seekers, and had children die under the ‘watch’ of the U.S. government. This is on top of the fact that there are secret social media groups of CBP employees spewing heinous comments about the migrants they are abusing and my fellow members of Congress.
“Congress cannot stay silent on these abuses. With this resolution, my colleagues and I are taking a stand against this President and his administration’s disgusting, inhumane practices.”
