Congressman Henry Cuellar (TX-28) released the following statement thanking First Lady Melania Trump for visiting children detention centers at the border:

“I thank First Lady Melania Trump for visiting McAllen today to see first-hand children in detention centers. Yesterday, I sent a letter to President Trump, urging the President and First Lady to visit and keep families together at the U.S.-Mexico border. The situation regarding how families were being separated at the border was unnecessary and avoidable. I thank the First Lady for taking the time to perform this call of duty and witness for herself these unaccompanied children facilities.”
