NEW: DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is about to go under the microscope. House Homeland Security Chair Bennie Thompson tells her in a letter this evening she is “long overdue” for an oversight hearing, having appeared just once when the panel was under GOP control.
Thompson says info Nielsen submitted to Congress today reflects ‘misinformation and outright lies’ used to justify the ‘boondoggle border wall, defend the govt shutdown, and distract the American people from a border policy so flawed that children have died’ in DHS’s custody
Nielsen joins Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross as one of the initial targets of House Dems’ new oversight capabilities.

Democrats leading House Cmte on Oversight allege Ross gave misleading testimony to Congress about a decision to add a question about citizenship to 2020 Census

DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen provided the following statement regarding the crisis on our border. facebook.com/homelandsecuri…
“The caravan members are predominately male. It appears in some cases that the limited number of women & children in the caravan are being used by the organizers as ‘human shields’ when they confront law enforcement.”
DHS has confirmed there are over 600 convicted criminals traveling w/caravan flow. This includes individuals known to law enforcement for assault, battery, drugs, burglary, rape, child abuse, etc. Mexico has already arrested 100 caravan members for criminal violations in Mexico.

NEW: Federal drug-trafficking prosecutions along the Southwest border plunged to their lowest point in almost two decades as the Trump administration launched a “zero tolerance” crackdown on minor immigration crimes, separating thousands of families.

usatoday.com/story/news/inv…
President Trump said that “my Department of Justice will be seeking so many much tougher penalties than we’ve ever had.” But DOJ and court records show the feds were taking fewer suspected traffickers to court than at any point since the border buildup began in 2001.
We found evidence that some big drug seizures aren’t ending up in federal court, where penalties are most severe. In June, border agents caught a man with more than 20kg of cocaine at a California crossing, but turned the case over to local authorities instead of DOJ.

DHS secretary Kirstjen Nielsen was confronted at a DC restaurant by DSA protesters and it's VERY satisfying to watch. She should never be able to show her face in public again.

Between this and "Mr President Fuck You" my night is looking up
To the folks replying “it’s not feminist to harass women.” That’s true!

But it is absolutely feminist to hold powerful people accountable - no matter what their gender, no matter where they are - for the crimes they commit against vulnerable children.
