Rep. Jeff Denham (R-Calif.) was denied entry Monday to a facility holding migrant children, including two girls who had been separated from their parents, after earlier being told he would be able to tour the location.
The Sacramento Bee reported that Denham had been in touch with the White House and Department of Homeland Security to try and enter the facility, which is run by a nonprofit organization contracted by the government.
Denham was reportedly told late last week he would be able to enter the building, but was denied access when he visited on Monday.
Denham said the facility, located in Pleasant Hill, Calif., is holding roughly 25 children ages 13 and under. Two of the girls have been separated from their parents.

(51,432 posts)He did more than 99% of his GOP pals would ever consider doing. Even if it was to appease his constituents, he made the effort. It is good to see that the federal govt, under direction from Stephen Miller, is equally evasive, if not shear out and out lying about the GOP plan (lack of plan) to unite families or care for the immigrants in detention camps.
