Homeland Security Secretary Nielsen Must Resign

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen

Kirstjen NielsenAs Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen has directed the “zero humanity” policies, overseen family separation, and bears responsibility for the 650+ children who are now permanently orphaned. Families belong together and free.

Under her leadership, nothing has been done about the over 1300 charges of sexual and physical abuse filed against ICE by women and children in detention. Children torn from their families have been drugged while held in detention facilities. Last week, a 7-year-old girl died from shock, starvation and dehydration under CPB custody.

Nielsen must resign immediately.

As Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, you bear responsibility for the suffering, abuse, and pain caused to the thousands of families detained, separated, and jailed. You bear responsibility for the 7-year-old girl who died from shock, starvation, and dehydration under CPB custody. More than 650 children are now permanently orphaned. And charges of physical and sexual abuse of families while in detention are rampant. Your leadership is part of a system that is failing Americans as well as families and children seeking safety in America. Leaving you in office has become unthinkable.

We demand that you step down as Secretary of DHS.
