Sen. Kamala Harris Calls On DHS Secretary Kristjen Nielsen To Resign

DHS Secretary Kristjen Nielsen is sick of the left’s misinformation campaign and slammed the press for lying out of their liar holes.

This misreporting by Members, press & advocacy groups must stop. It is irresponsible and unproductive. As I have said many times before, if you are seeking asylum for your family, there is no reason to break the law and illegally cross between ports of entry.

You are not breaking the law by seeking asylum at a port of entry.

— Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen (@SecNielsen) June 17, 2018

For those seeking asylum at ports of entry, we have continued the policy from previous Administrations and will only separate if the child is in danger, there is no custodial relationship between ‘family’ members, or if the adult has broken a law.

DHS takes very seriously its duty to protect minors in our temporary custody from gangs, traffickers, criminals and abuse.

She also spoke to the National Sheriffs’ Association in New Orleans and addressed the lies again.

“To a select few in the media, Congress and the advocacy community, I’d like to start with a message for you: this department will no longer stand by and watch you attack law enforcement for enforcing the laws passed by Congress,” she said. “We will not apologize for the job we do, for the job law enforcement does and for the job the American people expect us to do.”

“I want to take a minute to address the consequences of actually enforcing our immigration law. There has been much outcry, consternation, frankly misinformation in the media, press and advocacy groups around the country the last few weeks, that we at DHS are intentionally doing things that are un-humanitarian, that are cruel, immoral and disgraceful,” she continued. “We are doing none of those things. We are enforcing the laws passed by Congress and we are doing all that we can in the executive branch to protect our communities.”

“It is important to note that these minors are very well taken care of – don’t believe the press. They are very well taken care of, we know this because many of you have detention facilities of your own. We operate in some of the highest standards in the country. We provide food, medical, education, all needs that the child requests,” she added. “Let’s be honest, there are some that would like us to look the other way when dealing with families at the border and not enforce the law passed by members of Congress, including unfortunately some members of Congress.”

SPEAKING OF. Sen. Kamala Harris. She responded by calling for Nielsen to resign.

I’m calling on Kirstjen Nielsen to resign as Secretary of Homeland Security. Under her watch, our government has committed human rights abuses by breaking up families along the southern border. And she has ​failed to be accountable to and transparent with the American people.

Sen. Kamala Harris calls for DHS Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen to resign:
“We must speak the truth. There is no law that says the Administration has to rip children from their families. This Administration can and must reverse course now and it can and must find new leadership for DHS.”

Nice try from @KamalaHarris trying to shift the blame from her state’s obscene sanctuary policies—exploding homelessness & more crime for Californians.

Agreed. Where were the left’s cries three years ago, huh? That’s what I want to know.
