“I want to enter into the Record two haunting stories from migrant mothers reported this month. The first, ``Don't take my child away,'' said a mother, and her child started screaming and vomiting and crying hysterically. And she asked the officers, ``Can I at least have 5 minutes to console her?'' They declined. And next, another mother set her 2-year-old daughter down and an agent began to run gloved hands across her body. Immediately, the girl began to scream. It all happened so quickly, and the girl's despair was so complete in those few seconds. She would be taken from her mother when the van reached its destination. There are more than 2,300 similarly heartbreaking and unimaginable stories. The Trump administration cannot undo the trauma and terror they have caused, but they must immediately outline their plan to reunite these loved ones. ____________________”
