,tonko1 ,mr4 ,vargas1 ,ms4 ,velzquez1 ,mr4 ,schneider1 ,mr4 ,perlmutter1 ,mr4 ,suozzi1 and ,mrs4 ,kirkpatrick7 submitted the following resolution2 which was referred to the ,committee on the ,judiciary ,,resolution ,condemning the ,trump ,administration's systematic cruel and inhumane treatment of migrants1 particularly children1 at the southern border4 ,whereas the ,trump ,administration began a zero tolerance policy in the summer of #bjag1 officially announced in the spring of #bjah1 that led to family separations totaling nearly #c1jjj children taken from their parents or caregivers2 ,whereas ,trump's zero tolerance policies have resulted in preverbal children1 children as young as #d months1 being separated from their families1 some of whom have been kept in cages1 many forced to sleep on the floor1 and most held in cells with the lights on #bd hours a day2 ,whereas there have been numerous reports of children being forced to take care of other children in lieu of proper adult supervision2 ,whereas at least seven children are known to have died in immigration custody since #bjah1 after nearly a decade in which no child reportedly died while in the custody of ,u4,s4 ,customs and ,border ,protection 7,,cbp72 ,whereas pursuant to a #bjah court order in ,ms4 ,l4 v4 ,u4,s4 ,immigration and ,customs ,enforcement1 the ,department of ,health and ,human ,services has identified #b1gcg children who were separated from their families with a full understanding that the ,department of ,health and ,human ,services lacked the system to reunite families2 ,whereas the ,department of ,health and ,human ,services' identification of #b1gcg children is not a complete accounting of the total number of children who have been separated from their families1 as thousands were not included in the lawsuit and more than #gjj separations have occurred since the #bjah court order2 ,whereas there is still no integrated interagency system to properly track or share information about separated families2 ,whereas the ,trump administration has repeatedly incited fear in immigrant communities around the country1 most recently with the threat of ,u4,s4 ,immigration and ,customs ,enforcement raids after the ,july #d holiday2 ,whereas1 in fiscal year #bjah1 the ,department of ,health and ,human ,services' ,office of ,refugee and ,resettlement released #hf percent of children in custody to a sponsor3 #db percent of which were to parents1 #dg percent of which were to close relatives1 and #aa percent of which were to distant relatives or nonrelatives2 ,whereas the ,trump administration has denied immigrants the legal right to seek asylum by forcing immigrants to enter the ,united ,states at a port of entry and also denied some at ports of entry due to metering policies1 forcing them into more dangerous routes2 ,whereas1 in ,january #bjai1 the ,trump administration defied international law and implemented an unprecedented immigration policy intended to limit the influx of asylum-seekers by forcing them to remain in ,mexico while they await ,united ,states court proceedings1 and ,federal officials have returned more than #ae1jjj people to ,mexico this year under this policy despite widespread congressional opposition2 ,whereas #bd immigrants have died in ,u4,s4 ,immigration and ,customs ,enforcement 7,,ice7 custody during the ,trump administration2 ,whereas ,,ice is detaining approximately #ed1jjj immigrants1 well above the number of detention beds authorized by ,congress2 ,whereas there is a need for increased humanitarian standards to ensure humane conditions for those in ,,cbp and ,,ice custody2 ,whereas the ,department of ,homeland ,security's ,inspector ,general found that migrants are being held in cells designed for one-fifth as many detainees as were housed there2 ,whereas the ,department of ,homeland ,security's ,inspector ,general found egregious violations at two detention centers it inspected1 including nooses in detainee cells1 inadequate medical care1 rotten food1 and other conditions that endangered detainee health2 ,whereas investigations have found that ,,ice routinely places immigrants who have mental illnesses1 medical issues1 or are members of the ,,lgbtq community in solitary confinement2 ,whereas ,trump administration attorneys argued in ,june #bjai that it is safe and sanitary to confine children in facilities without soap or toothbrushes and to make them sleep on concrete floors under bright lights2 ,whereas the ,trump administration recently moved #cjj children out of a ,,cbp detention facility in ,clint1 ,texas1 after reports that they were being held without proper sanitation1 food1 and water1 but one day later1 they moved #ajj children back into the facility2 and ,whereas the conditions perpetrated on the southern border inflict physical and psychological damage on our most vulnerable populations that will have long lasting repercussions and do not reflect what the ,united ,states stands for3 ,now1 therefore1 be it ,that the ,house of ,representatives formally condemns the ,trump ,administration's systematic cruel and inhumane treatment of migrants1 particularly children1 at the southern border4
