On Father's Day Sunday, a group of Democratic members of Congress from New Jersey and New York met with immigration detainees separated from their children.
AP correspondent Julie Walker reports.
The lawmakers say they spent more than an hour trying to get into the Elizabeth Contract Detention Facility.
Congressman Jerry Nadler says they were eventually able to speak with five ICE detainees who were stopped at the border separated from their children and sent to New Jersey.
"We have heard of children being physically pulled from the arms of their parents."
The congressman says Democrats will introduce legislation to stop the family separation policy.
"These are the misdeeds of an administration speaking in our name that appears to lack a moral compass."
Nadler says the fathers he spoke with in detention are seeking asylum.

The arrival of rescue ships in the Spanish port city of Valencia has reignited a battle in Europe over immigration.
Reuters correspondent David Doyle reports.
Hundreds of migrants pulled from the Mediterranean by a rescue ship arrived at the Spanish port of Valencia on Sunday, bringing a grueling nine-day voyage after they were turned away from Italy and Malta to an end.
But war has not ended, indeed has been reignited, is a fierce debate over how Europe handles immigration.
Barring the rescue ship Aquarius was a chance to Italy's new government to assert its anti-immigrant credentials, while for new Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez it was an opportunity to underline a more liberal stance.
What was also highlighted is the European Union's failure as a whole to agree on how to manage huge numbers of people fleeing poverty and conflict.

Canberra is also hoping to pass foreign interference laws to counter alleged meddling by governments and individuals. The move comes amid rising fears in Australia over the influence of China in its domestic affairs.
Earlier this month media reports detailed allegations allegedly contained in a top-secret document that China had tried to influence Australia's political parties for the past decade, as well as every level of government.
In response, Beijing has previously accused Australia of being "anti-China."
