Homeland security chief backs Trump in split over Dreamer deportation
• Trump said undocumented child immigrants could ‘rest easy’
• Jeff Sessions insisted ‘everyone who enters unlawfully’ faced deportation

When Donald Trump and his attorney general contradict each other on immigration policy, listen to the president.
That was the answer of the secretary of homeland security, John Kelly, on Sunday, when pressed on opposing statements from Trump and immigration hardliner Jeff Sessions regarding the fate of undocumented immigrants brought to the US as children.
Asked if so-called Dreamers were subject to being deported, Kelly told CNN’s State of the Union: “I’d certainly go with what the president says.”
Sessions, however, was still not willing to agree that Dreamers could “rest easy”, as President Trump told reporters on Friday.
