"This process of the brutalization of refugees, and particularly children, is part of a philosophy of saying, 'If we treat them like this, we'll discourage them from coming," Merkley argued."There's just no ethical framework or religious tradition that allows you to mistreat children in this fashion," the congressman asserted.

Minors are seen as they exercise in a common area at the Homestead shelter for unaccompanied migrant children on April 8 in Homestead, Floridacorroborating many of the concerns raised by Merkley and other Democratic members of Congress. The report warned that the facilities were a"ticking time bomb."
