Recently, several commentators and journalists highlighted an American Red Cross tweet, interpreting it to mean that the Trump administration denied the humanitarian organization access to illegal immigrants temporarily being held in detention facilities.
Trump’s Centralized State is even banning the Red Cross from visiting those infants and toddlers being incarcerated by Trump. What do Trump and Pence have to hide? https://t.co/envB35OsLz

One of the people the Red Cross politely corrected was MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough. He didn’t take it very well.
This is not true, and we are sorry if our statement led you to this conclusion. We’ve had discussions with federal officials to see if there is a way we can help, but no one is “banning” us from anything, and if there is a role for the Red Cross to play, we will.

Your statement clearly states that you cannot help those incarcerated because despite your offers to help, the government did not grant you access.
I understand the position you are in. But focus on missing children and leave the spin to Sarah Huckabee Sanders. https://t.co/PMWXRg4qF2
