Published | Video Starts at 11:12

And I met with two boys, elementary school age boys about 8 years old and 10 years old, that had been locked up for six weeks. Six weeks these little kids had been locked up for nothing. They were complying with the law. They and their father were going through the legal process of applying for asylum. (11:12–11:21)
