Cory Booker says that if he were president, he would shut ‘inhumane’ migrant detention centers
1 / 3Cory Booker Says He Would Shut ‘Inhumane’ Migrant Detention Centers said that if elected he’d reverse most of President Donald Trump’s border policies on his first day in office without waiting for Congress to take action.“When kids are being stripped away from their parents and held in cages, I will not wait for Congress to solve this crisis,” Booker said in a statement outlining his immigration plan.
Under Booker’s proposal, immigrant detention centers would have to meet standards outlined by the American Bar Association or face closure. Facilities that host children would further have to meet the recommendations of the American Academy of Pediatrics. Booker in the release also called for an end to government contracting of for-profit private prisons.
