Morning Joe host overcome with emotion while reporting on detention camp treatment
Source: Raw Story · Bias: Far Left
Summary
MS NOW host Mika Brzezinski grew tearful while discussing conditions in Department of Homeland Security Immigration and Customs Enforcement detention facilities, describing them as "concentration camps." While in conversation with co-host Jonathan Lemire about the Department of Homeland Security head Markwayne Mullin's airport threats, Brzezinski responded emotionally. “So now you have story after story after story of people showing up at their immigration meetings, at their hearings, after they get a form; they're trying to go through the process,” she said.Brzezinski described how immigrants following legal processes are detained after rule changes, preventing them from staying in the country. This is often the case, despite their efforts to comply with legal requirements. She highlighted ongoing protests at New Jersey's Delaney Hall detention center, where detainees reported hunger strikes, rotten food, lack of air conditioning, and denied medical care. Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ), who has visited Delaney Hall, took over the discussion as Brzezinski composed herself. “This is our taxpayer money. These are our officials conducting immigration policy. That is levels of deep cruelty that should be unacceptable to all Americans. It's going on in Newark. It's going on in Texas. It's going on around our country. And understand this, that that facility now that they're begging for city support, when the city said there is health and safety concerns that you need to get a certificate of occupancy,” Booker emphasized.
