Dear Joaquin Castro,
No words to adequately express the depth of the gratitude I feel for what you and the wonderful U.S. District Judge Fred Biery have done for this family.
May God bless you both.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

The debate about what Alex Pretti did or didn’t do is irrelevant.

Reality 101.
We are all immigrants. Unless you came over on the Mayflower. I am an immigrant to Canada having grown up in the US. America was built by immigrants. Some people have forgotten that.

Insert heavy sigh here.
Children raped and killed. American citizens shot in the street. Immigrants illegally shackled, tortured, killed. Journalists arrested.
