DHS’s cruel immigration tactics are hurting children.   After a one-year-old was pepper-sprayed, I asked CBP a simple question: Was anyone held accountable?   They couldn’t answer.

🎤 Whisper Transcript (en) ⏱ 46s

"During this Trump administration, how many CBP personnel have faced disciplinary action related to the use of tear gas or other chemical munitions against children? Sir, I'm not aware of those statistics. Have any faced disciplinary action? I'm not aware of it as of right now, sir. You said you weren't aware of instances of tear gas being used against children. Can we play the video, please? This is what these terrorists do to babies. Mommy, you okay, mama? You okay? So you're both coming here today through the leadership of CBP and you don't know, you can't answer whether a single officer has faced any disciplinary action as a result of these 79 times chemical munitions have been used against children. You don't know."
