2A THE DAILY ASTORIAN • TUESDAY, JUNE 5, 2018 Merkley denied entry to immigrant detention center White House dings Oregon Democrat The Oregonian and Politico U.S. Sen. Jeff Merkley posted a video showing he was denied entry to an immi- grant detention center hous- ing children who had been separated from their parents. The Oregon Demo- crat chronicled his efforts to enter the former Walmart in Brownsville, Texas, in a Face- book post on Sunday. The senator says he made the trip after his office’s attempt to schedule a visit was declined. “I think it’s unacceptable that a member of Congress is not being admitted to see what is happening to children whose families are applying for asylum. I decided to come out here, go up to the door and ask to be let in,” he said in the video. Merkley’s video cast a spotlight on new immigration policy.

White House deputy press secretary Hogan Gidley said Monday that Merkley was “irresponsibly spread- ing blatant lies” and “smear- ing hardworking, dedicated law enforcement officials” who deal with migrants at the border. Gidley argued Mon- day that the senator’s refusal to back President Donald Trump’s hard-line agenda allowed criminals to enter and remain in the United States. “No one is taking a public safety lecture from Sen. Merk- ley, whose own policies endan- ger children, empower human smugglers and drug cartels, and allow violent criminal aliens to flood into American communities,” the spokesman said in a written statement. The White House iden- tified two “victims of Sen. Merkley’s reckless open bor- ders policies,” including a 65-year-old Oregon woman who was sexually assaulted and robbed by a Mexican man who had been deported 20 times. country ille- gally, includ- ing asylum seekers.

The senator was made to wait at the door, which had its glass panes blacked out, while an employee tried to track down a supervisor. Police arrived just as a supervisor came outside. The supervisor said he was not authorized to discuss the issue, and Merkley was eventually asked to leave. The administration has not disclosed how many children have been separated from their parents as a result of the new “zero tolerance” policy.
