DHS chief claims 600 convicted criminals are hiding in migrant caravans washex.am/2r8AigU
"[W]e cannot confirm the backgrounds and identities of all caravan members which possess a national security and public safety risk to our country. However, at this point we have confirmed that there are over 600 convicted criminals traveling with the caravan flow.”
“This includes individuals known to law enforcement for assault, battery, drug crimes, burglary, rape, child abuse and more. This is serious," Nielsen wrote. "Additionally, Mexico has already arrested 100 caravan members for criminal violations in Mexico.”
"[T]he violence we saw at the border was entirely predictable," she said. "This caravan, unlike previous caravans, had already entered #Mexico violently and attacked border police in two other countries.”
“ I refuse to believe that anyone honestly maintains that attacking law enforcement with rocks and projectiles is acceptable. It is shocking that I have to explain this, but officers can be seriously or fatally injured in such attacks.”
“Self-defense isn’t debatable for most law-abiding Americans."
