Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-Ore.) on Sunday shared a video showing him being barred from entering an immigration detention facility in Texas.
"I’m going to try to enter a facility in Brownsville, TX run by the Office of Refugee Resettlement. I am told that this former Walmart may currently be housing hundreds of refugee children who have been separated from their parents," Merkley said in a Facebook post.
Merkley posted a video of his attempt to enter the facility, where he is seen asking for a tour of the facility that he said his team set up last week. "The reason why I came is this new policy that the attorney general has in place of families that are waiting for the adjudication of their application for asylum in the U.S., and the children are being separated," Merkley said.
"We should be told ahead of time if anybody is going to come and visit us," an official with the facility is heard saying in the video. "Like I said, I'm not going to give a statement right now."
"So we'll be clear. The conversation that was indicated is going to be very short. That the individual can't make a statement, and so, therefore, I haven't been asked to leave the property, but I'm guessing that's what is about to happen," Merkley said.
"Yeah, sir, I think that's what they're going towards," an officer said before taking down Merkley's information.
“This practice is antithetical not only to American values but to basic decency and humanity,” Democratic lawmakers wrote in a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, as well as Sessions.

This is their big marketing talking points now. Trump is so horrible he is separating children from their parents.
So the idiot put up a video that only proves that written security protocols are being correctly followed?
Let him try to gain entrance to Fort Knox without advance warning, and see where that takes him!
Regards,
Wal-Mart does have everything.
Blowhard gasbag. I’m sure he feels entitled to an “all access” pass. “Do you know who I am?” “Uh, no.”
I honestly do not understand how these illegal aliens set foot in our country. Why are the not prohibited physically from coming in? I read last week that border croossngs are “UP” 30%!! Why is this happening?
Good work. I only wish they would have tased his liberal ass.
Should have barred him from Texas and then not let him back here in Oregon.
How many immigrants is he personally funding?
How many are living in his spare bedroom?
He’s mighty generous with other people’s money......
is he looking for the FEMA camps?
Or is he looking for netrage?
He was denied a great photo-op.
Cry me a river.
Obama Held More Than Double the Number of Children in Shelters Compared to Trump White House

Was he not also a Senator when Obama was creating this situation?
Because apparently the world has gone completely batshit insane.
Who the hell knows what laws are enforced and what laws aren’t, anymore. Too many damn laws and everything is up to the discretion of political actors to whom virtue is like holy water to a vampire.
So sick of these feckless cv&ts! Liberals always try to turn everything around bass ackwards. They should be admonishing people not to enter the country illegally, and for God’s sake don’t endanger children. Instead, they try to guilt trip everybody by using children as pawns. The unstated assumption here, is that anybody who shows up here with kids is defacto entitled to stay.
If this braindead meatball wants to be in a detention center, arrest his goatsmelling @$$ and throw him in with the other detainees.
What the hell would a liberal, democrat fleabag know about “American values”? This clown is FOS.
This seems to be a repeat from a previous moron enemy domestic elected criminal insinuating himself into a location he is not authorized to visit from a year or two ago.
What gave this imbecile the notion that he is somehow exempt from the rules that apply to all American citizens?
Do these clown really believe they can go anywhere they want any time they feel like it?
Isn't he subject to arrest if he refuses to leave as is anyone else?
Just arrenst his ass et non parlons plus...
A virtue-signaling idiot that enthusiastically supports the barbaric killing of nascent human life.
