Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) demanded on Tuesday that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resign in the aftermath of thousands of family separations at the U.S.-Mexico border.

“Someone in this administration has to accept responsibility,” Durbin said during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the issue.

Durbin quoted U.S. District Judge Dana Sabraw, who in June ordered the Trump administration to reunite families split apart at the border. Sabraw called the separations “a chaotic circumstance of the government’s own making.”

Several Democratic lawmakers have urged Nielsen to resign over the crisis, including House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, who tweeted about it in June.


Nielsen has dodged questions about her role in the “zero-tolerance” border enforcement policy. “We do not have a policy of separating families at the border,” she tweeted on July 17. “Period.”

Durbin had the tweet printed on poster board and displayed it during his remarks.

1. I agree

But like former Gov. Whitman said trump should be asked to resign for everything he's done , and he's doing, especially working for putin and not the USA and the American people. They all should be saying this publicly now. Not doing so now makes them look weaker, and scared of him and putin. More republicans need to resist and call him out too publicly . The media needs to stop promoting anything he tweets or says, or claims, its propaganda , and they are helping him promote it by doing this for him.

2. His rallys are and will cause more havac the next several months. Trump Resign!

3. And keep saying it

Don't think that because we said it once that it had any impact at all on the national psyche. We have to keep after this, keep calling for Nielsen's resignation, and keep the pressure on. This heinous policy was written in the Ninth Circle of Hell and betrays everything America says it stands for.
