At a roundtable discussion with Northern Virginia faith leaders held at the Unitarian Universalist Church of Arlington, Virginia’s U.S. senators reacted to reports of undocumented children detained at a facility in Staunton, Virginia.

Tim Kaine, D-Va. “We have to get answers first from the federal agency that’s responsible for the children, and visiting the facility if need be.”
