Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee sent a letter to Attorney General William Barr on Monday urging him to release “as many prisoners as possible” from federal facilities who are at high risk of becoming dangerously ill with the coronavirus.
The letter called on the Justice Department and the federal Bureau of Prisons to use their authority and “modify the sentences of prisoners who present ‘extraordinary and compelling reasons.'”
“We call on you, in the most urgent terms, to do the right thing and exercise this authority and immediately move to release medically-compromised, elderly and pregnant prisoners from the custody of the BOP,” the letter says. “In addition, we urge that you use every tool at your disposal to release as many prisoners as possible, to protect them from COVID-19.”

Our dear children may be looking at a dim future if those of us who love them, don't remove the U.S. House from Democrat control in November.

I get the growing feeling that 'they' are testing how much BS we will put up with and for how long.

Playing politics with humanitarianism is low brow.
For whatever that is worth.
