After visiting a migrant detention facility on Friday, California Sen. Kamala Harris (D) accused the Trump administration of committing "crimes against humanity."
Harris visited the Otay Mesa Detention Facility near San Diego, California, to meet with migrant mothers who had been separated from their children, according to Bloomberg.
"This is outrageous," Harris said, addressing a crowd of several hundred protesters outside the facility, Bloomberg reported. "This is clearly a crime against humanity that is being committed by the United States government and we have to stop it."
Harris blasted the administration for giving "no indication" of how the process of reuniting separated migrant families would work.
More than 2,000 migrant children were separated from their parents upon crossing into the U.S. illegally under the Trump administration's "zero tolerance" policy from April to May. The policy, announced in April, sought to aggressively prosecute migrants who crossed the southern border illegally, often leading to children being separated from their parents as the adults awaited court dates.
Harris described the detention facility as a "prison."
"I am a career prosecutor; I have visited many prisons and jails. That is a prison," she said.
During her visit to the facility, which is operated by private prison company CoreCivic Inc., Harris spoke with three immigrant mothers who said they had been forcibly separated from their children at the U.S.Mexico border with limited or no contact.

The Ribeye Picnic is sponsored by groups. It is held in tents on the WH lawn, and is a very fancy 5 course dinner for all members of Congress (535) and their spouses, etc.
Trump cancelled the event & sent the food to Walter Reed Hospital for patients, family, and staff there.
I applaud him.
The Congress members have been nasty to him at every turn & this is not the time to be eating high off the hog when this country is being invaded & torn apart.
As Trump campaigns for candidates for the 2018 elections, I am hoping he increases the Angel Family presence.
America MUST realize what damage these invaders are doing to their communities & country.
She has an empty head.
Another left of logic dirt bag Dem.
Lets hope she runs for Pres so we can watch her spectacular failure

She has a particular arrogance about her & she wears it
like it is the Medal of Honor. That makes me despise
her more than any other.
Indeed.
What I am struck by is the fact that pretty much all of their leadership are of the most extreme types you could imagine. Eliison and Booker have also been mentioned. They are racists associated with Farrackan just like Obongo was (but we did not find out about his association until after the fact).
I can't think of a single "moderate left" leader in the socialist dominated DemonRat party. There is no one who could earn the nomination in that party which has hitched it's wagon to identity politics in such a striking manner. At least Killary was adept at lying and pretending to be someone who could lead the nation, inspite of her overwhelming criminal past. Their party leadership is all WAY OUT on the extremes of the left.
This is coming from a United Sates Senator, correct?
What is she trying to do, get some nutcase Libtard so upset that he will attempt to Assassinate the POTUS or at the very least one of his Supporters?
“Their party leadership is all WAY OUT on the extremes of the left.”
Absolutely! Which should work in our favor in November and in 2020. As you point out, Hillary almost lied her way to victory in 2016, until she spilled the beans with her “basket of deplorables” crack. Then the mask was off.
No chance of that now. Trump is Hitler & everyone who voted for him is a Nazi; that is the orthodox Democrat line. He should run on “if they hate me, they hate you even worse”.
Indeed.
The Trump reelection campaign will be spoiled for choice when it coms to wacky, absolutely crazy comments made by high ranking politicians and party leaders directed at our President.
What I am amazed about is that pretty much ALL OF THEM are foaming at the mouth, teeth bared nut cases. Yes, they can get re-elected in their little bu#thole congressional districts, but on a national ticket they have to show some tiny bit of civility to hope for an election victory from the independents and uncommitted/too-busy-to-bother-with-politics voters.
I don't see any of that from the present field of candidates. They seem convinced they can win solely on their identity politics. I don't believe that to be the case in America today, not with a growing economy and low unemployment. If the economy doesn't tank I think Trump is a shoo-in for 2020...if he wants it.
