END Child Detention! Children do not belong in jails--not even for one night, and certainly not for weeks and months on end. It is a disgrace that we are jailing any nonviolent immigrants, appalling that we are jailing immigrants in inhumane conditions for months, and UNCONSCIONABLE that we as a nation are jailing children, preventing them from attending school (which is itself illegal) and causing what will surely be lifelong trauma if they survive. Our nation needs to be better than this. You as our elected officials need to protect the people in this country, whether or not they are citizens, from this abhorrent, unacceptable treatment.
