Sen Durbin Demands That DHS Secretary Nielsen Resign



The #2 ranking Senate Democrat has called upon Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Kirstjen Nielsen to resign, following the release of a government watchdog report. The report found that the Trump administration stole thousands more children under the “zero tolerance” policy than was previously known. “No one has been held accountable for this humanitarian disaster at our southern border,” Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois tweeted. “DHS Secretary Nielsen should accept responsibility for this outrage and resign.”

It's far past time to reunite the families that these fascists have ripped apart.

Where are the children ripped from parents before the regime even started accounting for them?

Make them face what they did. Get photos out there, get videos out there, get the USA pissed OFF!

And thank you, sir.

OH! Sent a note to his office, as well.

This is something you would read in history books about early war Germany or the Southern Confederacy during the Civil War. Not in the modern day USA. Shameful.

Jeff Sessions should be in front of a Committee and call in Stephen Miller. I hate them both. Zero tolerance they can shove it.

Oh and get some whistleblowers to join in. They must have stories about abuse and drugging those poor kids up.

for Crimes Against Humanity. Then extradite her, she will be found guilty, and she could even win a nice vacation at Spandau.

While we are visiting fantasy land, then the World Court could then move on to the Orange Shitgibbon and he could share that Spandau vacation.

for?

Are the 'guards' being paid? What is the contingency if the money runs out?

If no resignation, Nielsen has some serious explaining to do.
