"Morning Papers"

The Rooster

"Okeydoke"

...Director Michelle Brane (click here) recently tweeted, "This is the guy who managed CBP, the agents that separated kids from their parents, the agents who told parents they were taking their child to give them a bath, the agents who did not keep track of who they were separating." She added, "Not qualified to run anything."Although Vitiello admitted he was surprised by the backlash generated by the family separation policy, he and the Trump Administration are planning to rollout another family separation policy that would force parents to choose between sending their kids to shelters or being detained together indefinitely.

This would serve as a loophole to avoid a court agreement that helps immigrant minors from being detained for more than 20 days.

Now is that a loophole? The judged ordered children cannot be detained longer than 20 days. I would imagine that means with or without their parents. And, what is that indefinitely mess all about?

When asked what he would do to avoid repeating the mistakes of the family separation crisis, his response was vague. He said officials should have been more communicative with the public about the process. No specifics or apology was given.

Vitiello is still awaiting confirmation from the Homeland Security Committee before going to the full Senate.
