NEW MEXICO’S DEMOCRATIC SENATORS TOM UDALL AND MARTIN HEINRICH WILL BE IN TORNILLO, TEXAS, ON FRIDAY. ALBUQUERQUE MAYOR TIM KELLER AND SANTA FE MAYOR ALAN WEBBER MADE A VISIT THERE ON THURSDAY WITH A BIPARTISAN GROUP OF MAYORS FROM AROUND THE U-S. KELLER, WEBBER AND THE OTHER MAYORS CALLED FOR THE FEDS TO REUNITE CHILDREN WHO HAD BEEN SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES.
MAYOR KELLER CALLED THESE “DARK DAYS” AND COMPARED THE SEPARATION OF FAMILIES TO JIM CROW LAWS DURING SLAVERY, THE HOLOCAUST, AND JAPANESE INTERNMENT CAMPS DURING WORLD WAR TWO.
THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION SAYS 500 OF THE 23-HUNDRED CHILDREN SEPARATED FROM THEIR PARENTS ARE BACK WITH THEIR FAMILIES.
