Sec of Homeland Security Nielsen was quick to defend the actions of border patrol officials
In a statement on Monday, Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA) blasted Nielsen for what she deems to be a lack of transparency and accountability from the department at large.
“The government should be in the business of keeping families together, not tearing them apart,” Harris said. “And the government should have a commitment to transparency and accountability. Under her tenure, the Department of Homeland Security has a track record of neither. As a result, she must resign.”
In addition to the outcry over the border policy, Harris also cited Homeland Security’s response to Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico as a reason that Nielsen should leave her post.
“The Department’s lack of transparency under Secretary Nielsen’s leadership combined with her record of misleading statements including yesterday’s denial that the Administration even had a policy of separating children at the border, are disqualifying,” Harris said. “We must speak the truth. There is no law that says the Administration has to rip children from their families. This Administration can and must reverse course now and it can and must find new leadership for the Department of Homeland Security.”
