YouTube Description
as posted by the channel► Full article at Mother Jones
On Wednesday, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen was subject to the most intense grilling of her career. In her first congressional appearance since Democrats took the House, Nielsen was questioned about family separation, Trump’s border wall, and US asylum policy.
⠀
In classic Trump administrative fashion, Nielsen’s answers were vague and seemingly designed to deflect responsibility. At one point, Rep. Nanette Barragán (D-Calif.) sought to remind the secretary that she was asking yes-or-no questions. Simple.
⠀
Buuuuuut, not so simple. Watch the exchange above, and click through the link above to listen to today’s episode of The Mother Jones Podcast—in which we go inside a Tijuana shelter where migrant teens are stuck in legal limbo due to Trump’s policies. #news #politics #immigration #dhs
