Absolutely stunning OIG report finding that Nielsen instructed ports to turn away asylum seekers despite capacity to accept. I have repeatedly argued that her statements to Congress were false about this, but now we know she LIED oig.dhs.gov/sites/default/… 
My first post on the subject: cato.org/blog/obama-tri…
My latest post using FOIA-ed data to show that they had far more capacity to process: cato.org/blog/officials…
Here is Nielsen gaslighting families about coming to the ports after she'd already issued her order illegally blocking them! After they were forced to walk around the ports, she then separated the families. Absolutely criminal

Nielsen claimed there weren't resources, when CBP was actually reassigning hundreds of officers to stop asylum seekers at the US-MX border. I'd love to see her perjury trial
All of these people who made people suffer homelessness, crime, and deprivation in Mexico in violation of US laws need to see the inside of a jail cell
They have apparently pulled down this report

This is such a great timeline from the OIG report showing Nielsen's gaslighting and how they instituted the policy to ramp up family separations
