Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) has refused to apologize for comments she made in a video earlier this week where she compared U.S. border facilities with “concentration camps,” despite receiving widespread condemnation for the controversial remarks.
“DHS ripped 1000s of children from their parents & put them in cages w inhumane conditions. They call their cells ‘dog pounds’ & ’freezers,'” she wrote on Twitter on June 19.
