Trump has for months urged his administration to reinstate family separations, defying courts and his own executive order: report
Donald Trump sought to reinstate his controversial family separation policy, clashing with a now departing cabinet member over the issue, according to a new report.
Moreover, Ms Nielsen reportedly reminded the president he would be overturning his own executive order, which he signed to end the separation of migrant families after widespread backlash spilled over into nationwide protests and major demonstrations on Capitol Hill. She has repeatedly denied the administration ever separated families at the border, despite public evidence, Congressional hearings and press reporting all indicating families were in fact separated under her watch. “We do not have a policy of separating families at the border,” she wrote in June 2018, adding, “Period.”“Despite our progress in reforming Homeland Security for a new age, I have determined that it is the right time for me to step aside,” she wrote.
