Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) says she saw children being marched around "like little prisoners" during a visit to a migrant shelter Wednesday.
Warren told reporters in Florida that she looked at some of the children in the Homestead emergency care facility from a ladder, but she said she was not allowed into shelter itself, HuffPost's Maxwell Strachan reported.
I saw a harsh, flat, packed down field with a couple of soccer goals in each one, baking in the sun and temporary shelters that were all covered up, and children being marched from one to another in single file with guards. I waved, some of the children looked over, some kept their heads down. Finally, a group of children waved and quickly pulled their hands down, she said.
There werent children playing. There werent children laughing the way children usually do when theyre moving from one place to another. These were children who were being marched like little soldiers, like little prisoners, from one place to another, she added.

All of the candidates should go together and demsnd entry and make the goons arrest them.
Absolutely unacceptable that a US Senatir is barted entry to these camps.
LIBERATE THE CAMPS.

(155 posts)Anyone associated with these camps should be held responsible. I do not want to hear, "I was just doing my job," bullshit! If you are part of this, your are morally corrupt and a disgusting human being who is no better than the guards at concentration camps during the Nazi era. All must be held responsible. Where is the outrage by American citizens? NO protests, no demands for justice! Dems are too weak to mount any kind of response it seems to anything Trump and the Republicans are doing these days. I fear there will never be any kind of justice in the future. The next President, if a Democrat, will be too timid to bring these criminals to justice.
