A group of congressional Democrats lead by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi denounced President Trump on Monday after visiting a facility in San Diego County where immigrant children separated from their parents are held.
“It’s a heartbreaking, barbaric issue that could be changed in a moment by the President of the United States rescinding his action,” Pelosi said at a press event. “It so challenges the conscience of our country that it must be changed, and it must be changed immediately.”
The visit was part of an expanding campaign by Democrats to attack the president’s policy of splitting up families caught entering the country illegally, with lawmakers on Sunday joining protests at detention facilities in New Jersey and Texas.
San Diego representatives Juan Vargas and Susan Davis, as well as roughly another dozen lawmakers, joined Pelosi in touring Casa San Diego, an El Cajon facility for unaccompanied children who arrive at the southern border.
