This lady is not a nice person. She is responsible in part for some of the deaths in New Orleans due to Katrina https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trumps-pick-for-dhs-chief-was-at-center-of-katrina-disaster/2017/10/14/1a8f12a2-b067-11e7-9e58-e6288544af98_story.html?utm_term=.6809f2961436
The message was sent to Kirstjen Nielsen, whose title was special assistant to the president for prevention, preparedness and response. She was 33 years old.
It was the first of many alarming emails Nielsen would receive over the following days as water poured into New Orleans and the city was deluged. And in the storm of blame that followed the costliest natural disaster in American history, Nielsen's team was widely criticized for its passive and clumsy response.
Twelve years later, President Trump has nominated Nielsen to the top job at the Department of Homeland Security. As DHS secretary, she would be in charge of a 240,000-employee agency with a $40 billion budget whose many responsibilities include managing disasters such as Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico.
This lady would never be hired by any administration that had any standards or ethics which means that she is perfect for trump. This lady is now in charge of torturing children so as to try to discourage refugees from seeking asylum in the US which they have the right to. It seems that she has been caught lying about the family separation policy

The memo dates to December 2017, when border crossings were dramatically lower than in December 2016, yet is titled Policy Options to Respond to Border Surge of Illegal Immigration. In the memo and in comments on it, Trump administration officials floated the possibility of taking children from their parents but then denying them a hearing before an immigration judge and deporting the whole familywithout necessarily reunifying them first. It appears that they wanted to have it both ways, ACLU lawyer Lee Gelernt said. To separate children from their parents but deny them the full protections generally awarded to unaccompanied children.
The draft memo also considered restricting green cards available to abused, abandoned, or neglected children, as well as previewing the policy of intensive background checks of people who agreed to sponsor unaccompanied migrant children. Publicly, the Trump administration claims that this is for the safety of the childrenchildren they held in detention campsbut the memo acknowledged that the policy would lead to kids being held longer.
This lady needs to be locked up
