Can we get the Red Cross to check on the detained children?

They have children in cages for god's sake. What don't we know? A U.S. Senator was refused a tour of a facility and I want answers. I want reports. All those children in one place under stress is at the very least a medical nightmare. Have children died? How many? Why? Goddammit.

However, I'm surprised that we haven't heard from Amnesty International.

And, as diane in sf said, Amnesty International.

Let's have videos of them turned away.

This is what I found:

https://www.amnesty.org/en/about-us/contact/

There doesn't seem to be a US office, but there is what looks to be a general use email:

contactus@amnesty.org
