Washington, DC
Congressman Richard E. Neal released the following statement today in response to the controversial “zero tolerance” policy of the Trump administration where children are being separated from their families along the U.S. Mexico border.
“The Trump administration’s policy of forcibly separating children from their families along the U.S. Mexico border is contrary to our basic American values and beliefs. And it is made worse when many of these young children end up being held against their will in secretive federal detention centers. The “zero tolerance” crackdown announced by Attorney General Jeff Sessions in May is wrong and should be stopped immediately. Thousands of families are being torn apart and traumatized by this immoral practice. What these people are experiencing on a daily basis is heartbreaking and should be condemned in the strongest possible terms,” said Congressman Richard E. Neal.
