.@repdinatitus grills @SecNielsen on Dreamers & those w/ TPS:

"It's more than just border control. We need to deal with the Dreamers, the DACA recipients, TPS. They're all living in a situation of uncertainty..."

#NielsenHearing
.@RepBonnie: What is a chainlink fence enclosed in a chamber... is that a cage?

KN: It's a detention space...

Rep: Does it differ from the cages you put your dogs in...

KN: Yes. It's larger...provides room to sit, stand, lay down..

Rep: So does my dog's cage

#NielsenHearing
.@RepBarragan: James Comey took...memos on his meeting with Trump... your former boss, Sec John Kelly also wrote... memos about his interactions with the president... Have you taken any contemporaneous memos about your interactions with the president?

KN: No I have not
#Nielsen
.@RepBarragan: Do you know how many children have died in @CBP custody under your tenure as secretary?

@SecNielsen: ...so far this year, we've had 3 as you know in CBP custody...

Rep Barragán: So far? Madam Secretary, are you expecting more children to die?

#NielsenHearing
.@RepBarragan: You wanted to separate children & families & you wanted to do it w/ compassion? So in the meantime you didn’t do anything at all & you let kids be separated w/out tracking them. Do you know how outrageous that is... You have no feeling, no compassion, no empathy...

I HAVE AN ANNOUNCEMENT:
According to many non-Jewish right-wingers & establishment dems, it has come to my attention that I (as a Jew) must be anti-Semitic b/c I criticize Israeli policies like @IlhanMN. Sorry to my other anti-Semitic Jewish brothers & sisters. #IStandWithIlhan
Let me ask this to my fellow Jews: Do you support what the leader of Israel is doing? Does he represent the values and beliefs of the Jewish people who had been and continue to be marginalized and persecuted around the world by fascists & nationalists?
Are you familiar with @netanyahu and how he is becoming alarmingly close with neo-fascists and Holocaust revisionists? Do you support that as Jew? thedailybeast.com/netanyahus-neg…

Here’s a thread of reports on nazis infiltrating our law enforcement and politics from the last decade👇
The FBI warned of the potential consequences — including bias — of white supremacist groups infiltrating local and state law enforcement, indicating it was a significant threat to national security. pbs.org/newshour/natio…
A neo-Nazi serving as a lieutenant in the US coast guard has been caught plotting to attack Democratic members of Congress, including congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, and well-known media personalities, according to prosecutors. theguardian.com/us-news/2019/f…

Some thoughts to the Covington Catholic student’s statement:

1) Those of us who saw the full video can see & hear the small group of Black Hebrew Israelites saying horrible things towards the kids. Who started that conversation? It appears BOTH SIDES (sorry) were engaging
2) Yes – we can see Nathan Phillips was the one who walked towards the students, and as he mentioned, was a way to defuse the situation. However, the idea that a 64-year-old man walking a snail's pace and banging a drum is intimidating or is a threat is a crock.
3) The student says he was “confronted” by the Native American protester. And that they were being “loudly attacked and taunted in public.” Right. In that case, the chaperones failed in safely moving the children elsewhere on the 164 acres that the Lincoln Memorial takes up.

As the posturing of the conference committee begins, just wanted to provide some thoughts that I wish weren't provocative, as both chambers & sides of the aisle begin their talks. I should preface these thoughts to say that no one wants a shutdown at the end of this process. 1/
Part of the challenge in these convos is that both sides are in rhetorical political battles not real policy ones & so because each word could mean 29035 things depending on who is saying it the result is a bunch of fake conversations that result in nothing. And that is sad 2/
It's particularly sad when it's so obvious that a majority of Americans are actually for a narrow bipartisan compromise on increasing security & providing PERMANENT protections to #DACA recipients & #TPS Holders. & yet we find ourselves in an enforcement-only conversation 3/

I truly appreciate the non-political folks calling for a #DACA deal as a route out of the shutdown. It’s VITAL to understand that this admin actually wants that cover in a public convo to mask what they’re actually pushing which is gutting asylum & putting migrant kids in jail 1/
The Pres ended DACA in Sep of 2017, he did it in a passive way cuz DACA is remarkably successful & popular. And then hid behind injunctions of multiple circuit courts that kept some pieces of the program in tact. But in reality his DOJ tried to hop over that in the 5th circuit 2/
That effort to bypass circuits failed as the 5th circuit case is still at the district court level. So then they decided to jump over the 9th & petitioned to SCOTUS anyway (the 9th has since ruled, but there is no circuit court conflict) 3/

DACA UPDATE: DC district court partially stayed a previous order to fully reinstate #DACA. This means that USCIS will not accept first time applications or advance parole for now. DACA renewals are still being accepted. 📣 1/
Three federal courts that have now said that the Trump administration’s termination of DACA was wrong. 2/ #ProtectDreamers
This development in the DC case eliminates Texas’ explanation for why they need an immediate halt to #DACA renewals. Simply put: they have no real argument. 3/

This afternoon the Senate is turning to DACA and immigration, beginning with a “motion to proceed” vote. The burden is on Republicans to fix the mess that Donald Trump made on #DACA, as a majority of Americans want them to. [Thread]
Remember, we got here because Donald Trump ended the DACA program back in Sept. And 20,000 DACA recipients have already lost their protections as a result. He then rejected a bipartisan agreement reached by @SenatorDurbin and @LindseyGrahamSC, because it wasn’t racist enough.
So here we are — in an open debate on immigration with a Republican-controlled Congress. If you care about immigrants and #Dreamers, you should be worried. And while we all want relief for Dreamers, we can’t and won’t take just any deal.

More than a third of recipients (37%) reported difficulties paying DACA’s application fees ($465 total). Respondents who are currently financially insecure (measured by whether they were unable to pay bills at some point in the last year) #Dreamers escholarship.org/uc/item/6b56v2…
"In total, we surveyed 502 young adults, including 452 DACA recipients, and 50 undocumented youth who had not received DACA. Our survey took place two years after DACA’s initiation, with the goal of exploring the longer-term impacts of the program." migrationcluster.ucdavis.edu/sites/g/files/…

THREAD: Why we must pass the bipartisan #DreamAct state by state. Retweet to spread the word.
Alabama has nearly 4,300 #DACA recipients. Deporting them would cost Alabama more than $182 million in annual GDP
Alaska has more than 100 #DACA recipients. Deporting them would cost Alaska nearly $8.6 million in annual GDP
