Trump's renewed push for family separations led to Nielsen's ouster: report

By Zack Budryk - 04/08/19 10:59 AM EDT
 

A renewed push by President Trump to resume a policy that resulted in the separation of migrant children from their families at the U.S. border with Mexico led to the resignation Sunday of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, according to a report from NBC News.

Nielsen had resisted the directive, according to NBC, which cited three unidentified U.S. officials with knowledge of meetings at the White House. It said Trump for months has pressured officials to resume the separations.

Nielsen’s resistance strained her relationship with Trump, NBC reported, adding that the outgoing secretary told the president she could not reinstate the policy due to federal court orders and an executive order he signed last year ending it.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

@corbe

It is now reported, about the children already separated and here; it will take two years to return all the children back to their parents.

Now, Trump wants to start separating them again.

Could Nielson have been opposed to this due to her sentiments as... a woman?

If so, yet one more reason why women should not be entrusted to hold positions of power in government!

   You do realize @Fishrrman that in spite of the 'official' statistics, Women really do make this place go round and round.      Regardless, I'm ready.
