A Federal Judge Just Ordered An End To Most Family Separations Within The Next Month

1. This is encouraging

but I urge everyone to read Elizabeth Warren's Facebook post about her visit to two shelters in Texas. It was posted on DU yesterday and I am sorry I do not remember the name of the poster or the time posted. (Maybe another DUer can help me out?) Warren said that they consider families "together" who are housed in the same facility, even though they may be put in separate "cages" and cannot see other family members. The mens' "cage" is so crowded that there isn't room for all of them to even lie down.....The moms can hear the children and babies crying at night. Sanitary facilities practically non existent .... people housed there for weeks at a time .... It is appalling. Words cannot describe how repulsed I am and I am sure all of you here feel the same way. I feel so helpless that we are just forced to hear about this horror and can't do anything to stop it. I wrote to my Republican senator about it but what else can we do?
