Nielsen pushed for extreme Trump policies while ignoring realities on ground, like this:

Me: Do you think violence is spilling into USA?
Nielsen: Along the border? Absolutely.
Me: That's not what DEA says.
Nielsen: I‘d be happy to look at DEA materials.
She will always be the face of Trump’s family separation policy — even though she denied it existed.

Just this Friday the Trump administration, after being ordered to by a court, said it might take 2 years to identify all the kids it separated.
DHS secretary will change but Trump's policy goal remains the same.

Nielsen and McAleenan *both* support asylum law changes so US can:

1) Detain migrant families indefinitely, until cases are adjudicated
2) Send unaccompanied asylum-seeking minors back home immediately
