TODAY: Unlawfully appointed acting DHS Sec. Chad Wolf’s confirmation hearing.

From defying the courts on #DACA to unlawfully expelling asylum-seeking kids back to danger, Unlawful Chad should be resigning, not getting rewarded.

His nomination must be blocked. #FreeTheFamilies

.@AmericasVoice: “There are a litany of reasons why Wolf shld be resigning rather than sitting for his nomination hearing.

Wolf was a behind-the-scenes player during the systematic separation of thousands of children from their parents earlier in the Trump era.” #FreeTheFamilies

“Wolf directed the deployment to Portland, Oregon of DHS agents in unmarked uniforms, who subsequently picked up civilians on the streets and put them into unmarked vans.” #FreeTheFamilies

“During the pandemic, Wolf and DHS have helped spread #COVID19 between detention facilities and internationally by continuing deportation flights—the track record is horrific.” #FreeTheFamilies

“From ICE facilities lacking rudimentary health care to allegations of sexual abuse to a disturbing pattern of deaths in custody, the detention system and their leaders deserve investigation—not promotion or confirmation.”

Chad Wolf must be blocked.
