Massachusetts Senator and Democratic presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren announced she will tour a migrant detention center, and got choked up while describing conditions she had seen during another visit to one of the Trump administration’s facilities.

On Tuesday night, Warren took questions at a town hall event at Miami’s Florida International University, and was asked about the recent reports of deplorable conditions at Customs and Border Protection detention facilities.

A woman told Warren about conditions at the migrant detention center in Homestead, FL, and said “I know your heart is with those children, but we need you there. We need your presence to bring the press and to bring more national attention.”

“So, I’m going to Homestead tomorrow, come with me,” Warren replied, to thunderous applause from the crowd.

When the applause died down, Warren described her own visit to detention facilities in McAllen, Texas last year.
