U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Oregon, during a speech on the House floor Wednesday offered to volunteer her own time to help reunite separated families.

The deadline to bring the families together was Tuesday. However, fewer than half have been reunited.

Bonamici demanded immediate action.

"As a leader in women's rights, education and labor, the congresswoman is highly aware of the impact of the current border issues on our communities, our counties and our state," said Maribel De Leon, director of microenterprise programs at Adelante Mujeres.

U.S. Rep. Suzanne Bonamici, D-Oregon, met with immigrant leaders about family separations Monday.

She toured the Sheridan facility where several detained immigrants have been separated from their children.

She said the Trump administration must stop decriminalizing asylum seekers.

PORTLAND, Ore. - Sens. Jeff Merkley and Ron Wyden, along with Rep. Suzanne Bonamici and Gov.

Federal officials turned away a group of Oregon congressmen and the governor after they asked for a tour of a Portland facility that houses immigrant children.

Oregon's U.S. senators, both Democrats, agree on thwarting President Donald Trump's next nominee for the U.S. Supreme Court.

Ron Wyden and Jeff Merkley agree that Senate Democrats will need to stick together — the 47 Democrats are joined by two independents — and also enlist support from a handful of Republicans, who hold a one-vote majority in the chamber.
