A Democratic senator who recorded his dramatic, unsuccessful effort to enter a federal immigration facility in Texas on video over the weekend was "irresponsibly spreading blatant lies about routine immigration enforcement," the White House said Monday.

And in a separate statement, the Department of Homeland Security seemingly contradicted Sen. Jeff Merkley's suggestion that he was being systematically barred from immigrant detention centers, saying federal officials took extra steps to grant him access to one on Sunday.

In footage uploaded to Facebook late Sunday and seen by more than a million viewers, Merkley, D-Ore., approached the Office of Refugee Resettlement facility in Brownsville, Texas, after remarking that the government's treatment of children illegally entering the U.S. was "unacceptable."

Merkley then tried to follow somebody into the building, before being told that he was on "private property" and should "please go away." The facility, run by a contractor, is in a former Walmart with blacked-out windows.

While Oregon Sen. Merkley focused on the conditions at an ICE dentition center Texas his own state's capitol had no potable drinking water for over a week. 
 The inmates at Salem Penitentiary had no drinking water. 
 The residents of Salem had no potable drinking water. 
 He chose illegals over his own citizens.

A Democratic senator lying for political reasons?

The fact is under a 9th Circuit consent decree and U.S. law, there are circumstances were children are separated from adults. Such as not being able to confirm family relation, or a threat to the children exists. AFAIK There has been no change in the law or polices for the treatment of illegal immigrants in custody, since 1997. For the last two years under Trump, they have been treated the same as under eight years of Obama.

Sen. Merkley is grandstanding for his reelection in 2020.

This article can’t possibly be true. Democrats NEVER lie. They ALWAYS tell the truth about every issue out there. ///////SSSSSSSS

Apparently he’s in favor of keeping children with adult detainees who are more likely to molest them.

Locked in a fenced in area with covering over the top so they can’t climb out!

There’s nothing like an Oregon Democrat to set the record straight; oh wait, it may not be so.

[Liz]

Smerkely’s really interested in children’s well-being, isnt he?

He’s a lying sack of crap, but the part I found most interesting is that they are, in fact, using empty Wal Mart buildings for this stuff. I’ve always been highly skeptical of the claims that this was happening.

Here’s his Portland office phone:
(503) 326-3386

And he has fax machines!
(503) 326-2900

I’m thing of faxing him about 100 pages of “You’re a lying sack of excrement!”

Democrat getting the same treatment they would at any store they demanded to see the cash receipts when just walking in.

Try that at the airport asshole and you’d be in a federal lockup in about 30 minutes

[be in a federal lockup in about 30 minutes]

Gosh that would be great for certain Democrats, especially.

Like this guy, and a few from California...Chicago.

Oh, we’ll be here all day.
