Bernie Sanders Says It's 'Time To Shut Down' Pennsylvania Family Immigrant Detention Center

The fight to shut down a controversial family immigrant detention center in Pennsylvania received high-profile support on Thursday from Democratic presidential candidate Bernie Sanders, who mentioned the issue during a campaign event ahead of the state's primary.

Sanders, a Vermont independent senator, told a crowd in Reading, Pennsylvania, that he believes "that it's time to shut down" the nearby Berks County Residential Center.
