Kirstjen Nielsen must resign as Secretary of Homeland Security
Kirstjen Nielsen must resign as Secretary of Homeland Security for a lack of transparency and for implementing a policy of separating thousands of immigrant children from parents.
Why is this important?
I am Senator Kamala Harris and I am calling on Kirstjen Nielsen to resign as Secretary of Homeland Security. I am doing so because she has lacked transparency and for implementing a policy of separating thousands of children from parents along our southern border.
Her numerous misleading statements, including denying this week that the government had a policy of separating children from their families at the border, are disqualifying.
Let me be clear: our government should be in the business of keeping families together, not tearing them apart.
And despite what this Administration is saying, there is no law forcing them to cruelly separate children from their families.
For that reason and more, Nielsen has lost the trust of the American people and must resign immediately.
