"The quality of life in detention facilities only magnifies that suffering.” Additionally, the letter disavows the alumni’s former classmate, writing, “Given the facts at hand, we do not have faith in Secretary Nielsen to live the values of our alma mater or to make any decisions concerning outcomes for children at the border.”Katie toldTeen Vogue “I was upset because it’s just really stupid to go around and still have these social gatherings.
