Congresswoman Lee's Statement on Secretary Nielsen's Resignation

OAKLAND, CA -- Today, Congresswoman Barbara Lee released the statement below following Secretary Nielsen's resignation: 

“Kristjen Nielsen’s repeated defense of the Trump administration’s abhorrent family separation policy was inexcusable — and she should have resigned long ago. I’m glad to see her leave. The American people deserve a DHS Secretary that respects the dignity of families and will restore decency and humanity to our nation’s immigration laws.”
