HEARINGS SERVICES COMMITTEE --
WILL CALL THE MEETING TO ORDER --
CLEARLY WE DON'T HAVE A QUORUM
RIGHT NOW SO WE'LL HEAR THIS AS
A SUBCOMMITTEE AND WILL.
KEEP THE RULES OPEN FOR ONE
MEMBERS --
COME AND MY UNDERSTANDING IS
THAT SENATOR AND WHEN ON SENATOR
BERRYHILL WILL NOT --
BE HERE TODAY --
SO WE'LL START WITH --
ITEM ONE STR TWENTY NINE AND
SENATOR PAN --
WHAT THE PRESENT [inaudible]
AIR.
IF YOU MISTER CHAIR AND MEMBERS
OF THE COMMITTEE WHEN THEY WELL
IF HERE --
SO I'M PLEASED TO PRESENT S. YOU
ARE TWENTY NINE WHICH CALLS UPON
THE UNITED STATES CONGRESS ISSUE
A FORMAL APOLOGY TO ALL
IMMIGRANT DETAINEES HAVE BEEN
FORCIBLY SEPARATED FROM THEIR
PARENTS AS A RESULT OF
IMPLEMENTATION. ZERO TOLERANCE
OF BORDER POLICIES.
FOLLOWING EXECUTIVE ORDER ISSUED
BY PRESIDENT TRUMP AGENDA TWENTY
SEVENTEEN A MEMO ISSUED BY
TURNING GENERAL JEFF SESSIONS IN
APRIL OF THIS YEAR THE UNITED
STATES HAS.
INSTITUTED ZERO TOLERANCE POTS
POLICY REGARD.
REGARDS IMMIGRANT VIOLATIONS
HOWEVER THIS AND PRESENT IN
HUMANE POLICY HAS RESULTED IN
THE FORCIBLE SEPARATION OF OVER.
TWENTY FIVE HUNDRED IMMIGRANT
INFANTS AND CHILDREN FROM THEIR
PARENTS REMAIN IN CUSTODY WHILE
AWAITING TRIAL.
WELL SUPPORTERS OF THE POLICY
ITS CLAIM THAT IT'S MERELY
FORCED ME TO THIS THING LA I
WOULD LIKE TO POINT OUT THAT THE
UNITED NATIONS HUMAN RIGHTS
OFFICE OF THE HIGH COMMISSIONER
HAS STATED THAT THE FAMILY
SEPARATIONS ARE SERIOUS
VIOLATIONS OF THE RIGHTS OF THE
CHILD.
AND FACT IN.
THE PRESENT THE AMERICAN ACADEMY
OF PEDIATRICS HERE IN THE UNITED
STATES IS CALLED IT GOVERNMENT
SANCTIONED CHILD ABUSE.
SO EVEN THOUGH THE UNITED STATES
IS THE ONLY MEMBER STATE NOT TO
HAVE RATIFIED THE CONVENTION ON
THE RIGHTS OF THE CHILD THE
UNITED NATIONS HAS STATED THAT
SINCE WE HAVE SIGNED THE
INTERNATIONAL.
CORD WE DO HAVE LEGAL
OBLIGATIONS TO CHILDREN A
CUSTODY.
ASIDE FROM THE INHERENT CRUELTY
OF SEPARATING CHILDREN FROM
THEIR FAMILIES --
THERE IS STRONG RESEARCH TO SHOW
THEIR SIGNIFICANT PROLONGED
HEALTH RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH
EXPOSURE TO HIGH LEVELS.
STRESS IN CHILDHOOD SOLD OF
SEPARATIONS.
THAT'S YOUR TWENTY NINE FIRST
SEEKS TO HIGHLIGHT THE
OVERWHELMING CONSENSUS AMONG
RESEARCHERS THAT HAVE PROLONGED
EXPOSURE TO TOXIC STRESS AFFECTS
BOTH SHORT TERM AND THE LONG
TERM HEALTH.
AND WHILE MOST OF US ARE MOTHERS
ARE LIKELY AWARE OF THE
POTENTIAL MENTAL HEALTH EFFECTS
THAT JUST POSTTRAUMATIC STRESS
DISORDER THERE ARE ALSO SERIOUS
PHYSICAL HARMS ASSOCIATED
EXCESSIVE TROUT STRESS.
IN FACT ONGOING EXPOSURE TO
STRESS CAN ACTUALLY DISRUPT
FORMATION OF THE CHILD'S BRAIN
ARCHITECTURE.
AND CAN TRUE AND CAN CONTRIBUTE
TO LATER DEVELOP CHRONIC
CONDITIONS SUCH AS
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE.
S. YOUR TWENTY ON CALLS UPON THE
UNITED STATES CONGRESS TO
FORMALLY APOLOGIZE NOW ONLY FOR
THE SEPARATION OF FAMILIES BUT
ALSO FOR THE PROLONGED INCREASED
HEALTH RISK ASSOCIATED
UNMANAGEABLE STRESS EXPERIENCED
BY THOSE WHO CAN SEPARATE BY
THEIR FAMILIES.
THERE ARE NUMEROUS PAST EXAMPLES
OF THE UNITED STATES ISSUING
FORMAL APOLOGIES FOR FLAGRANT
HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS --
SOME EXAMPLES INCLUDE THE REAGAN
ADMINISTRATION'S NINETEEN EIGHTY
EIGHT APOLOGY FROM INTERNET
JAPANESE CITIZENS DURING WORLD
WAR TWO AND THEN.
PRESIDENT CLINTON'S
ADMINISTRATION NINETEEN NINETY
SEVEN POLICY APOLOGY FOR THE
TEXT GEEKY EXPERIMENTS CONDUCTED
THE NINETEEN FORTIES THROUGH
SEVENTIES.
YOU'LL NOTICE THAT THESE
APOLOGIES OFTEN COME DECADES --
AND IN SOME OTHER EXAMPLE
CENTURIES AFTER THE VIOLATIONS
HAVE TAKEN PLACE.
BUT I WOULD SAY WHY SHOULD WE
WAIT UNTIL THESE CHILDREN WHO
HAVE BEEN FORCED TO MOVE FROM
THEIR FAMILIES ARMS ARE GROWN
BEFORE IT KNOWLEDGE AND CRUELTY
AND THE VIOLATION OF HUMAN
RIGHTS.
AS A RESULT OF OUR POLICIES.
WITH THIS YEAR --
TWENTY NINE WE ARE ASKING
CONGRESS TO APOLOGISE NOW TO
RECOGNIZE WHAT WE ARE DOING NOW
AS BEING AN APPROPRIATE AS
HARMFUL.
AND THAT WE WILL APOLOGIZE FOR
THAT IN THIS BOTH PRESENT AND
GOING CAUSED BY THE PRINT
ADMINISTRATION'S POLICY SEPARATE
CHILDREN FROM THE FAMILIES ARE

SHE SAID NOT ONLY STOP THIS
