The Trump administration's family-separation policy had a profound effect on the immigration system. Caitlin Dickerson, staff writer at The Atlantic, joins host Krys Boyd to discuss her 18-month deep dive into the policies and after-effects of separating children from their families at the border, including the first on-record interview about the policy with former U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and former White House Chief of Staff John Kelly. Her article is called “We Need to Take Away Children.”

This week we discuss the recent resignation of the Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and how it relates to President Trump's border policies. We also share what the current Democratic candidates for President have been doing as well as the results of the FEC quarterly report.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen is out. She's done terrible things like the family separation policy, but her replacement might be much worse. Also, my wife and I watched The Inventor on HBO about Theranos and Elizabeth Holmes. This story exemplifies the 1% and great ideas still need due diligence, not just family connections and a deeper voice.

President Trump fires Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen on Twitter, 2020 Democrats clarify a wide array of new policy positions, Trump designates Iran's Revolutionary Guard as a 'foreign terrorist organization' and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez embarrasses herself by adopting a fake southern accent while speaking to a predominately black audience.

After an unceremonious meeting with US President Donald Trump, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen was summarily dispatched to the land of the unemployed. She was fired, or as they like to say in Washington, DC, circles, asked to resign. Also, Secret Service Director Randolph "Tex" Alles will remain in his position as of now, but has been asked to leave. Trump has instructed acting White House Chief of Staff Mick Mulvaney to fire Alles, CNN reported, citing numerous administration officials. Commenting on the decision, one of the officials mentioned "a near-systematic purge" at the Department of Homeland Security. What does this signal for immigration policy?Israeli voters will elect a prime minister Tuesday, in what's expected to be the Jewish state's closest election in years. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is running for a fifth term. He also could be running to stay out of prison. Netanyahu is facing serious corruption charges, and winning another term might shield him from prosecution. He's facing a tough competitor in former military chief of staff Benny Gantz. Analysts say Gantz can match Netanyahu on security while promising cleaner Israeli politics. Public opinion polls show Netanyahu and Gantz running very close. How close is this race? Can Gantz win this, or is the talk of a close race more hype than reality? What's been the impact of Netanyahu's pledge to extend Israeli sovereignty over parts of the West Bank?There's a great piece in MintPress News, entitled "The Syrian American Council's Pressure Campaign to Censor One of Its Major Critics," by Alexander Rubinstein. It's about a book entitled "The Management of Savagery," by Max Blumenthal. The Syrian American Council and a collection of pro-war lobbyists have led an intimidation campaign aimed at bullying a major Washington-based bookstore, Politics and Prose, into canceling the book's launch event. The store had already made onerous demands of Blumenthal, including requiring him to have an “interlocutor” on stage, specifically, one who would appease the Syrian American Council. Blumenthal selected Andrew Cockburn, one of the premier journalists covering US and Middle East politics and a longtime correspondent for Harper's Magazine. But Blumenthal told MintPress that Cockburn was denied; Politics and Prose management insisted that Cockburn was “too sympathetic” to Blumenthal's views. What's going on here?GUESTS:Helena Olea — Human rights adviser for Alianza Americas.Nicole Roussell — Producer for Loud & Clear on Sputnik News.Max Blumenthal — Co-founder of the Grayzone Project.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Richard Wolff, a professor of Economics Emeritus, University of Massachusetts, Amherst and founder of the organization Democracy at Work. Prof. Wolff’s latest book is “Capitalism's Crisis Deepens: Essays on the Global Economic Meltdown.”President Trump has promised repeatedly to bring the trade deficit under control. Instead, it has exploded. The latest figures from the Commerce Department show that the US last year ran a trade deficit of $891.2 billion, the largest in American history. The deficit with China hit a record $419 billion, despite the President’s trade sanctions against that country. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen testified today before the House Homeland Security Committee. The testimony focused on the Trump Administration’s policy of family separation at the border and the deaths of migrant children in federal custody. The testimony is taking place as President Trump prepares to veto a resolution from Congress overturning his border wall state of emergency. Isabel Garcia, co-founder of Coalición de Derechos Humanos, joins the show. Scores were arrested earlier this week in Sacramento, California as police repressed demonstrations demanding justice for Stephon Clark, an unarmed 22-year-old African-American man who police shot and killed in his grandmother’s backyard in Sacramento last year. The Sacramento County district attorney and the California Attorney General announced in the past few days that the two policemen who killed him will not face any charges. Brian and John speak with Jamier Sale, an organizer with the ANSWER Coalition and was one of the activists who was arrested on Monday night. In a ceremony marking the sixth anniversary of the death of his predecessor, Hugo Chavez, Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro called for demonstrations on Saturday, which he called “a day of anti-imperialism.” Oppositionist and self-described president Juan Guaido is holding rallies the same day. And Guaido called on Venezuela’s public employees to join his efforts to overthrow the government. Arnold August, a lecturer, journalist and author of the book “Cuba-US Relations: Obama and beyond,” joins the show. Last night, Senator Chris Murphy announced new actions were being taken to force to the Senate floor a bipartisan effort to rein in US support for the war in Yemen as early as next week. The resolution, sponsored by Republican Mike Lee, Democrat Chris Murphy, and Independent Bernie Sanders, has broad bipartisan support, but probably not enough to override an expected presidential veto. Kevin Zeese, the co-coordinator of Popular Resistance, at popularresistance.org, who has just returned from a peace delegation organized by CodePink to Iran, joins Brian and John. Wednesday’s weekly series, In the News, is where the hosts look at the most important ongoing developments of the week and put them into perspective. Jacqueline Luqman, the co-editor-in-chief of Luqman Nation, which hosts a livestream every Thursday night at 9:00 p.m. on Facebook, and Sputnik news analyst Walter Smolarek, join the show.Wednesday’s regular segment, Beyond Nuclear, is about nuclear issues, including weapons, energy, waste, and the future of nuclear technology in the United States. Kevin Kamps, the Radioactive Waste Watchdog at the organization Beyond Nuclear, and Sputnik news analyst and producer Nicole Roussell, join the show.

Opening Monologues. Repelling the Migrant Caravan Invasion. Kudos to President Trump for keeping his word and closing the United States Border between San Diego and Tijuana, Mexico. After some hundreds in the "caravan" horde attempted to storm the American Border, throwing "projectiles" at members of the border patrol, Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen announced the immediate closure of the San Ysidro crossing. Didn't they listen to what the man said? We review the inevitable political implications and outline our expectations for MSM portrayals of migrant "victimhood." Moving forward, if we are to sustain a country and a civilization, we must learn to overcome such propaganda. Meanwhile, the French government cracks down on the Gilets Jaunes "fuel tax" protesters in Paris. Tear gas and water cannons. Will the unpopular Macron be forced to reconsider his climate change crusade? Also, the Meddling British are said to be "horrified" at the prospect of "declassifying" documents pertaining to SpyGate. All the more reason, in our view, for Trump to make it happen forthwith. The bitter end of our Anglophilia. Plus, a Fox News host is booted off the air for comparing Hillary Clinton to "herpes."

"This small trickle turned into a wave, and then turned into a tornado, and now it's a tsunami."Battered by midterm results and surprised by criticisms over his actions in France, Trump is taking out his anger at anything he can get his hands on. White House Chief of Staff John Kelly and Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen appear next in the firing line. Also talking California fires, North Korea, the mystery of the migrant caravan suddenly disappearing from media coverage, and ongoing midterm results.

When a top-ranked U.S. security official says our digital lives are in danger like never before, you should probably believe her. That’s a direct quote from the Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen. In this week’s episode of CYBER24, we take a look at some of the top cybersecurity stories you likely missed, unless you […]The post Episode 33: Cybersecurity top concern for US appeared first on Cyber24.

President Donald Trump characterized a descending caravan of would-be Central American migrants making their way to the U.S. as a national emergency, in a Monday morning tweet. Trump lamented the limited effort the Mexican government has taken in attempting to quell the caravan of thousands of migrants as they continue to make their way through the country bound for the U.S. The president also expressed concern that “unknown middle easterners” and criminals were mixed in with the caravan. The caravan has swelled to nearly 5,000 people as it entered Mexico via Guatemala. The majority of the caravan consists of Central Americans who wish to gain entry to the U.S. by claiming asylum upon arrival. Department of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen warned Sunday that drug cartels could exploit the caravan for its own purposes. “While we closely monitor the caravan crisis, we must remain mindful of the transnational criminal organizations and other criminals that prey on the vulnerabilities of those undertaking the irregular migration journey,” she said.

U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen outlines the Trump administration’s cyber priorities, including election security, power grid security and how DHS is coordinating these efforts within the federal government.

On today's episode of The Daily Daily Caller Podcast, we talk about how outrage is all the rage on the left when it comes to the border "crisis." With all the moral preening by Democrats and the media (redundant?), you'd think they'd be on board with any solution to "stop the suffering." Weirdly, they are not, as Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer has rejected any plan to address the situation. Seems they'd rather have the issue than a solution. The liberal mob, riled up by over-the-top rhetoric from the media, stormed a restaurant in Washington to shout down and chase out Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen. This is going to become more common as the left becomes further unhinged. California Sen. Dianne Feinstein has a bill to address the issue, and every Senate Democrat has signed on to support it. But, as Maine Republican Sen. Susan Collins points out, it would make it illegal to arrest any illegal alien within 100 miles of the border, even if they've committed a serious felony. Sounds crazy, right? Feinstein admits that's what her bill does, and we have the audio to prove it.

On June 18, 2018, White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders and Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen held a briefing largely focused on the Trump administration's treatment of families seeking asylum at the southwestern border of the U.S. On June 19, I spoke with Sarah Pierce, Policy Analyst for the U.S. Immigration Policy Program at the Migration Policy Institute (https://www.migrationpolicy.org/). We discussed the predominant home countries of those who have been recently apprehended at the southwestern border of the U.S., a bit about data cited by the Nielsen, and quite a bit more about what would happen if legislation proposed in the U.S. House were to become law.
