Schumer decries ‘awful’ conditions at migrant detention facility
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer accused the Trump administration of treating detained migrants “like criminals” after touring a Texas detention facility on Friday, calling conditions he saw there “awful.”
The New York Democrat, who led a dozen Senate Democrats to the border, blamed the administration for “inhumane” conditions at the detention centers. He said even though authorities tried to “make things look better” the day before their visit, the conditions were still appalling.
