(WTXL) - U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson (D-FL) will be holding a 12:00 p.m. press conference Monday in the U.S. Capitol Building to discuss his visit Saturday inside a federally-run facility in Homestead, Fla.
His team says the facility is holding 70 children who were separated from their families at the border, so Nelson is sharing what he plans to do now to ensure these kids are reunited with their families.
Nelson, who was denied entry to the HHS facility in Homestead earlier last week, was allowed to enter and tour the facility when he returned Saturday, however, he was still not allowed to see the 70 children separated from their parents or to speak to the one person on site charged with reuniting them with their families.
