It is an outrage that is
hard to fathom but that still exists today. I was recently speaking to a group of pastors from my home State of
Illinois who do wonderful work advocating on behalf of human rights and
human dignity. One of them, Rev. Walter Johnson of the Greater
Institutional Church in Chicago, shared his frustration that abuses and
atrocities being inflicted upon migrants and refugees in Libya have
received not nearly enough attention or outrage in the American public,
government, or in the press. I couldn't agree more. That is why I have
come to the Senate floor today to speak on this alarming human rights
crisis.
