Opinion: There was no one more appalled by what Trump asked DHS to do than Kirstjen Nielsen, which is why she only implemented the really heinous parts, PetriDishes writes
Thank you, Kirstjen Nielsen! By Alexandra Petri Alexandra Petri Columnist offering a lighter take on the news and opinions of the day Email Bio Follow Columnist April 8 at 1:29 PM The resignation letter is on Donald Trump’s desk, and Kirstjen Nielsen is gone. Or rather, will be gone, as soon as they figure out a legal way for a fresh beast, its hour come 'round at last, to slouch toward the lectern to become the new face of the Trump administration’s immigration policy.
The terrible thing you saw was only the dangling glowing protuberance on the head of the immense submerged monster you did not see. Keep that in mind going forward as you decide whether Kirstjen Nielsen should be welcome in restaurants or on cable news. It’s going to be excruciating for Kirstjen Nielsen to be separated from this job. To be separated from this job will make her eyes well up, just a little, so she thinks she understands what those people at the border felt when someone decided to unleash tear gas on them.
