Journalist Johnathan Katz captured video of the Congressional delegation consisting of Reps Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ayanna Pressley, Joaquin Castro and Rashida Tlaib visiting the child detention facility in Clint, Texas.
He posted several clips of the group, but the one I am highlighting is the advocates of Concentration Camps shouting Islamic slurs at Rep. Tlaib:

Some reactions:
These people are pro-concentration camp
They are so pro-concentration camp they took time out of their day to tell everyone how pro concentration camp and racist they are
…The Nazis didn't even have citizens who were "pro concentration camp" because they tried to hide it, JFC

Listen to the gobsmacking hate from the @GOP supporters, people from around the world look and listen in horror at the downward spiral the the @GOP and Trump have taken the USA!!! Shameful

Deplorable was simply not a strong enough word for Trumpers. They’re deranged and disgusting.

Here is Katz’s video of AOC talking about people being forced to drink from toilets:

And AOC trying to speak to the crowds. (sorry about the double tweets, they are linked in Katz’s thread.)
Here’s @AOC speaking at Clint. The pro-camp counterprotesters were doing their best to drown out all the legislators, but especially her. pic.twitter.com/QAdKJ2i1A6

The people shout out elected Representatives to support the abuse, imprisonment, and degradation of refugees, including little kids, are a real and present danger to our country.
We must do all we can to push back.
There will be protest all over the country today to demand we close the camps.
Find one below and attend if you are able.
