“Trust is your bond, and if people trust you to be a person of your word, that will carry you far in the profession,” Jeh Johnson said.

After some faculty and students criticized his immigration policies, former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson withdrew from speaking at the University of Southern California’s law school commencement. Had he given his speech, he would have offered three main pieces of wisdom to the graduates, including that they are capable of more than they know.

Each speech Johnson writes differs slightly because of the “flavor” of the school, he told Newsweek, and he speaks with a small group of students ahead of the event to gain insight into what they want to hear. Johnson, a C and D student in high school, did not impress his guidance counselor, who didn’t see a four-year college education in his future. It wasn’t until his sophomore year of college that he became inspired to become an A student and realized he could do things he never thought possible.

Like other commencement speakers, Johnson would have congratulated the graduates, crediting their law degree with enabling them to do “great things” and positively affect the world.

DHS launching program testing DNA of some migrant families in effort to prevent 'recycling' of childrenA new pilot program from the Trump administration will test immigrants using rapid DNA detection to determine if individuals presenting as families are indeed related. Having to resort to DNA testing when DHS knew all along that it has the ability to track and identify large populations and their relation with eachother is straight up reckless, unprofessional and is everything I would expect from Trump's kleptocracy. He fails again.
