Just got off the phone with management at Tornillo tent facility. Contract set to end Dec 31 but @HHSGov has no plan for 2800 kids.
.@HHSGov stop intentionally delaying the release of 1300 kids to family members who have already submitted finger prints.
.@HHSGov then speed up the processing for the 1100 kids who have sponsors but are waiting to schedule fingerprinting.
.@HHSGov then work with the home governments of the remaining 400 kids to find a family member in their home country.
We are the United States of America… we are better than this.

As a former CIA officer and a Congressman on the House Intelligence Committee, I can affirmatively say there is nothing about agreeing with a thug like Putin that puts America First.
The President is wrong. Russia interfered in the 2016 election and seeks to undermine our democracy.
Since 2016, I have called on Obama and Trump to take action against Putin. We should not start trade wars with our allies and play nice with communist tyrants. hurd.house.gov/media-center/e…

BIG: Trump administration reverses course on controversial policies for people who want to sponsor migrant children apprehended at the border. Change could free thousands of kids, lead to closing of Tornillo tent facility. My story for @TexasMonthly. 1/ texasmonthly.com/news/trump-fin…

Subject: "Bump stock ban”

Email: [an AOL account lol]

Body text: "That's bullshit. It should be against the law to purposely publish fake news.”

My reply: "Thanks for writing. What was false in the story?”

[I patiently await his reply]
His response: "Where is the number of the executive order?”

My reply: "It's not an executive order. It's a final rule issued by the Justice Department, which DOJ officials sent to reporters. A link to the rule is in the article. Here's the link again:” documentcloud.org/documents/5635…

Some few years ago, whilst conducting a research about traffic laws, I stumbled upon a blogger's extremely and vividly apt description of road users' attitude in the country. Just encountered it in my archives again and would love to share
Below are the observations of a foreigner residing in Jos, the capital city of Plateau State. Christie Winkler on her blog “Those Winklers” wrote:
1. Lanes are discretionary and surely one more car can fit – even if yours is going the opposite direction.
After all, every Nigerian driver knows to expect traffic from any direction at any given time. If there happens to be lines in the road, feel free to disregard them to turn, avoid potholes or get to your destination sooner.

Incident commander of the #Tornillo concentration camp:

“I'm totally against the separation. Should never have happened.”

@ambiej "It was an incredibly dumb, stupid decision by our leadership," said the Tornillo incident commander. "It was flawed. All it did was harm children, no question about it."

buzzfeed.com/amberjamieson/…
Thank you, @ambiej, for this reporting.

And thank you to the commander for his honesty and integrity.

It’s given me more hope than I’ve had in a while.

1/ Thread: Here’s everything we know about immigrant children being separated from their families. #ZeroTolerance #separatingchildren #ImmigrantChildren trib.it/hE
2/ About 2,000 children have been separated from their parents at the border, but the actual number is likely higher. trib.it/hE
3/ This comes after the Trump administration announced a “zero tolerance” policy. That means all adults crossing the border illegally will be prosecuted. Since children can't be sent to federal jail, kids who are detained are being separated from parents. trib.it/hE
