Kirstjen Nielsen is a liar and not a nice person

This lady is not a nice person. She is responsible in part for some of the deaths in New Orleans due to Katrina https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trumps-pick-for-dhs-chief-was-at-center-of-katrina-disaster/2017/10/14/1a8f12a2-b067-11e7-9e58-e6288544af98_story.html?utm_term=.6809f2961436

On Aug 27, 2005, two days before Hurricane Katrina made landfall, officials at the American Red Cross wrote to a top homeland security adviser at the White House, warning that the storm was likely to slam New Orleans as a major hurricane.

The message was sent to Kirstjen Nielsen, whose title was special assistant to the president for prevention, preparedness and response. She was 33 years old.

It was the first of many alarming emails Nielsen would receive over the following days as water poured into New Orleans and the city was deluged. And in the storm of blame that followed the costliest natural disaster in American history, Nielsen's team was widely criticized for its passive and clumsy response.

Twelve years later, President Trump has nominated Nielsen to the top job at the Department of Homeland Security. As DHS secretary, she would be in charge of a 240,000-employee agency with a $40 billion budget whose many responsibilities include managing disasters such as Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.

This lady would never be hired by any administration that had any standards or ethics which means that she is perfect for trump. This lady is now in charge of torturing children so as to try to discourage refugees from seeking asylum in the US which they have the right to. It seems that she has been caught lying about the family separation policy





As far as I am concerned, this lady should be locked up

There is something wrong with her. Her aloof and detached affect is really disturbing.

This lady and trump plotted how to hurt migrant children and their families. https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2019/1/18/1827388/-Leaked-memo-shows-Trump-administration-carefully-plotted-how-to-hurt-migrant-children-and-families

Toss a few more on the vast pile of lies we know the Trump administration has told about its cruel family separation policy. Sen. Jeff Merkley released a draft memo, leaked by a whistleblower, showing that the Departments of Justice and Homeland Security thoroughly gamed out different ways they could tear children from their parents and use it as a deterrent to keep migrants from seeking asylum at the border.

The memo dates to December 2017, when border crossings were dramatically lower than in December 2016, yet is titled “Policy Options to Respond to Border Surge of Illegal Immigration.” In the memo and in comments on it, Trump administration officials floated the possibility of taking children from their parents but then denying them a hearing before an immigration judge and deporting the whole family—without necessarily reunifying them first. “It appears that they wanted to have it both ways,” ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt said. “To separate children from their parents but deny them the full protections generally awarded to unaccompanied children.”

The draft memo also considered restricting green cards available to abused, abandoned, or neglected children, as well as previewing the policy of intensive background checks of people who agreed to sponsor unaccompanied migrant children. Publicly, the Trump administration claims that this is for the safety of the children—children they held in detention camps—but the memo acknowledged that the policy would lead to kids being held longer.
