Some things to keep in mind ahead of @DHS_Wolf's nomination hearing tomorrow before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee:
1) Wolf helped create Family Separation
2) He was previously caught blatantly lying about that fact to this very same committee 1/

3) As I type this, and as he likely tries to explain away that torturous policy inflicted on vulnerable families in need of protection, he is overseeing Family Separation 2.0. He is *doing it again.* Plus, hundreds of families remain separated from the initial version. 2/

4) Wolf was illegally appointed and has been serving illegally.
5) He deployed DHS resources against US protestors exercising their right to free speech. Peaceful protesters were abducted in unmarked vehicles, taken to an unknown location, interrogated, and detained w/o charges.

6) Wolf has recently defied a subpoena to appear before Congress. He is the lawless, undemocratically chosen leader of what is quickly becoming the president's personal militia - a dangerous fact considering the US' growing tendency toward a white supremacist autocracy.

7) He has overseen the disastrous and deadly #Covid response at immigration detention facilities. Under @DHS_Wolf, ICE has continued to perform involuntary transfers - unnecessarily spreading Covid throughout the US - as well as deportations, spreading Covid around the world.

Meanwhile, detained immigrants have complained time and again about the abysmal and unsanitary conditions in immigration detention facilities. A whistleblower recently reported one facility involuntary sterilized migrant women and failed to prevent the spread of #Covid.

8) With the help of CDC Director Robert Redfield (@CDCDirector), Wolf has used the #Covid pandemic to shut down the border to asylum seekers, including unaccompanied children, who are often fleeing for their lives.
9) And so much more.

.@DHS_Wolf is a liar and a human rights abuser. He has no business in the people's government.
