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.

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
