Despite being publicly berated and rejected by Trump, the 46-year-old Kirstjen Nielsen, soon to be one of only four female Cabinet members, is one of its longest-serving members. And one of its most embattled. mollymotoole writes:

....through their country and our Southern Border. Mexico has for many years made a fortune off of the U.S., far greater than Border Costs. If Mexico doesn’t immediately stop ALL illegal immigration coming into the United States throug our Southern Border, I will be CLOSING.....The Homeland Security department did not make Nielsen or another official available, nor provide comment.

A senior White House official conceded there were moments when Nielsen was on the outs, but said that especially with her defense of the president’s national emergency declaration in February, “her stature in the administration has only risen.”

Nielsen leaving overseas bilateral security meetings early, bowing out of G7 to deal with southern border situationHomeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is leaving bilateral security meetings with European officials early -- and bowing out of the G7 Interior Ministers' Meeting in Paris -- to head back to Washington to continue managing the situation at the southern border, according to a Department of Homeland Security official. Always a crisis, no? Just optics, purely optics for the Nielsen who puts children in cages. Is the situation actually being 'managed' or is it being 'produced' by the T-RUmp Administration? She must be going to Mexico to pick up that check for the wall.
