Children’s entertainer Ms. Rachel visited families connected to detainees at the Delaney Hall immigration detention center in Newark, New Jersey, on Monday, calling on the federal government to end what she described as the traumatization of children by immigration enforcement.

“This is not a partisan issue,” she said. “We will all look back on this time and remember if we stood with children being abused in detention centers or with corporations making millions and harming them with our tax dollars.”
