JEFF MERKLEY FOR OREGON
We must stop the cruel treatment of children in our custody. My plan before Congress: End family separations, except in the most extreme ....
They are children. CHILDREN. And yet Donald Trump’s government is ripping them from their families, jailing them indefinitely, and denying them the most basic things -- like showers, diapers, medical care. This has to stop. Please sign my petition. We must be heard.
