despite secretary neilson, this is an important point. despite the attempts to, again, point fingers to the democrats and suggest this is a congressional issue, her administration has owned this several times. secretary -- at the time, secretary kelly when he was homeland security chief suggested there is something he is going to do. jeff sessions earlier today said this is something they're looking to do. stephen miller in an interview the last couple days at the "new york times" said this is the deliberate choice that this administration is doing. >> they said that a moment ago -- over the weekend on one of the sunday shows. >> that's right. >> it's very clearly deliberate. i want to leave everybody with this. we just got this from senator richard shelby who was interviewed live in d.c. on capitol hill. he met with the president today along with senator kapito. mostly they talked about funding the wall. he said it was not in the context of a broader immigration deal but that the president wants a "down payment" on fundg the wall." separ

>> so again, neilson picked a mexican restaurant during all of this to dine in d.c.eted that neilson has been working with congress for months to find a solution, and he invited the protesters to ask lawmakers to close the legal loopholes. i can tell you that restaurant, mxdc, is really, really good. not like just on taco tuesday good. they have a lobster corn guacamole. i can understand anybody wanting to go there, no matter what sort of pressure you might get. >> i see. now we know where to get the best guacamole in d.c. according to kendis gibson. >> lobster corn guacamole. >>> and the united states is the first to ever voluntarily withdraw from the u.n. human rights council. nikki haley announced the move. israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu called the move courageous. haley says if it adopted reforms, the u.s. would be open to rejoining. >>> most asian markets have stabilized overnight after escalating fears over a full-scale trade war between the u.s. and china. president trump is threatening to impose tariffs on $450 billion of chinese imports, that's th

deputy chief of staff to step down in recent months, following katie walsh, rick dearborn, and kirsten neilson last day is july 6th. replacement yet to be named. >>> white house chief of staff john kelly is reportedly fed up with president trump and may be eyeing exit from the oval office. kelly was with the president on capitol hill last night as he made rounds with lawmakers to discuss legislation on immigration. as the president talked to reporters, kelly appeared to hide from cameras, stepping behind a column. he eventually rejoined the president once he departed and reporters were gone. according to politico, kelly's status in the white house changed in recent months and he and the president are seen as barely tolerating one another. people close to kelly say he largely yielded role as enforcer in the west wing as his relationship with trump has soured. sources say while he once believed he stood between trump and chaos, he's told at least one person close to him, he may as well let the president do what he wants, adding this chapter in american history would come to a close. politico add

white house senior advisor stephen miller and protesters chased homeland security secretary kirsten neilsonother restaurant this week. let's talk to daniel litman, and eliana johnson, politico's white house reporter. ryan, washington obviously is the center of politics, trump isn't the first president to do something polarizing, how unusual is this for white house staff to be hassled in this way? >> i think it's unusual. i think what we have seen in the past leweek with several trump officials including stephen miller and the head of the homeland security department being heckled and what happened to sarah, i think it looks like a direct consequence of the child separation policy that just outraged a lot of people. i think, you know, whether you feel like it is an appropriate means of protest or not, depends a lot on how bad you think that policy is. and how you important it is to show -- to show some resistance to it and if you saw the int interview with the woman who owns the red hen in lexenton, virginia, she talked to her staff, and there were some people who were gayen the staff who ob

as a human being of what they are doing, and there is an uprising to abolish i.c.e., and kirstjen neilsonnot apologize, and we are a woman's peace organization, and it is the united states of america, and the 60% of the tax dollars to be spent on the weapons and war that creates the refugees and the economic policies. so we have to be responsible and bring them in and hold them and not violate them farther than our policies have violated them. >> reporter: thank you so much. you have told me that you have been protesting outside of the otay mesa detention facility where we know for sure, richard, there are mothers separated from the kids in there and can you tell me the significance of that? >> well, like a lot of people, i thought that i would go to detention center and i'd see people and chaos and i'd see people through the window, and i would have some connection to the people that are being detained. otay mesa is the equivalent to the about eight football fields, and if you didn't know what it was, it is looking like a storage facility. no windows and the barbed wire is way up over th

. >> let me play for you secretary neilson today for your response. >> we take allegations of mistreatment seriously. i want to stress this point. we investigate. we hold those accountable when and if it should occur. we have some of the highest detention standards in the country. claiming the children and their parents are treated inhumanely is not true. >> your response? >> well, she also said over the weekend that children weren't being separated from their parents. sessions is saying this is inspired biblically and it's a deterent. they're not owning the policy. the reality is it lands squarely at their feet. and they have the power to end it and we need to keep the public pressure on. there are such blatant lies and lies stacked up against the administration saying it is a deterrent. they say this is a thing they're really doing on purpose. >> we heard reports for months now that they were going to do this. they were looking for another way, a series of anti-immigrant stances tookt vat their base which you have to remember donald trump's entire campaign is really organized around this

krista neilson is saying, we're not doing it.ttorney general jeff sessions is saying, god was is to do it. that is where we are in terms of the responsibility. as a reporter i've been following the money with the business of detention. under the obama administration for some time here on democracy now! many reporters like myself are calling or recalling this history family detention under previous a ministrations. not so much to toot our own horn and so we are right, but more to say this is how democrats have previously compromised on the issue of how we handle the surge of migrants coming to our country to seek asylum. openedd president obama detention centers for families. his approach was to keep the moms with the children. although, there was some consideration at that time of separating families, but they did not t really go that route. in many cases s we was he the father maybe sepeparated while t motherer and child would be held in these facilities. there are other examples of how democrats have overseen the separation of

i requested, publicly requested chairman goodlatte to bring the secretary of hhs and neilson so we canout things, these aren't just reports, hearing directly moms don't know where their kids are and we're not sure the administration does either. >> do you believe, congresswoman, that i.c.e., immigration and customs enforcement agency should be abolished? we are hearing from more democrats that are specifically calling for that. >> well, i have been working on immigration issues for 20 years. enforcement functions which need to be here in a country as ours, we have immigration laws, they need to be enforced, but those functions don't need to be an agency that's become a rogue agency that literally has no accountability to congress around the hundreds of millions of dollars that we spend. most of that money is contracted out to private contractors, and we have had a heck of a time trying to get any answers from i.c.e. and border patrol, about the conditions and standards under which we hold people. we don't want federal dollars to go into a mass deportation force. i believe we can get ri

today, homeland security secretary neilson tweeted first the administration does not have a policy of separating families at the border, but today denying that the trump policy is an intentional departure from bush and obama enforcement. >> there has been much outcry, consternation, and frankly misinformation from many in the press andongress over the last few weeks that we at dhs are intentionally doing things that e unhumanitarian, that are cruel, immoral, and disgraceful. we areoing none those things. we are enforcing the laws passed by congress. it is important to note that these minors are very well taken care of. don't believe the press. they are very well taken care of. >> well, first of all, kristen welker is joining me now, nbc white house correspondent and nbc's jacob soberov at the border at the processing station, and with my here is bill crystal. they are not enforcing the laws, they are enforcing a policy announced by jeff sessions in may, rejected by both the bush and obama white houses. kristen? >> it's a really important point, this was a policy announced by the attor

to hear more about the policy of separating families on the border, especially since kearse sten neilsoneff sessions have been telling a very different story. we'll bring it to you life. the line between work and life hasn't just blurred. it's gone. that's why you need someone behind you. not just a card. an entire support system. whether visiting the airport lounge to catch up on what's really important. or even using those hard-earned points to squeeze in a little family time. no one has your like amen express. so no matter where you're going... we're right there with you. the powerful backing of american express. don't do bess without it. don't live life without it. >>> that john kasich conversation didn't make me smile enough this certainly will. you know how i like to end this show. no matter what there's always good news somewhere and we think good news rules. after a category 5 hurricane tore through the virgin islands last fall, kenny chesney was among those who decided to help in a big way. he created the love for love city found offer relief and support to residents who need. m

why they went through all this saying as recently as monday night, kirsten neilson, the department ofsecretary, said congress alone with fix it. that was not true at the time. it's not true today. so why they went through all of that, putting the blame on congress or saying congress needed to do something, only to at least reportedly sign something that does what we knew they could do from the start i'm not sure about. but the end result i think is a good thing, even though the sausage being made was a very bad thing for republicans. >> honestly, we don't know exactly what this is going to be, right? >> that's right. what the is is here is an important one. he's going to take action to improve security on the border and help keep families together. how he's going to do that unilaterally, we know he could stop the policy of separation with a phone call or the stroke of a pen, what he's going to do also, that is an important thing to get to. remember, and i'm just recalling what the president said on friday, you know, he said all along that he hates having the children being taken away,

last week secretary neilson reported that this tactic is still being utilized. she stated that, quote, in the last five months, we have a 314% increase of adults and children arriving at the border fraudulently claiming to be a family unit. that is obviously of concern. end of her quote. these fake family units are often provided with fraudulent documents to support that the group is actually a family unit when we all know that it's not a family unit. there's a whole industry that exists to create fake birth certificates and many other documents that show a familia family relationship as a tactic to create these fake familiar units became more popular, the underground market exploded. smugglers are very smart and many of them are masters at gaming our own immigration system. so let me reiterate that the way the flores versus reno agreement is currently applied the government can't keep children -- immigrant children even if they are with their parents. flores discourages the federal government from keeping families together in department of homeland security cus

official in a restaurant these were abolished ice activists who did that with chris walla christine neilsonrats asked do you agree do you think a good idea to not allow anyone associated with the trump administration to even go into a restaurant and have dinner, and i think that it is going to make the -- the democratic candidates very uncomfortable even as their most passionate supports think it is a good idea. >> byron thank you for that we've got more trump tweets to get to if you want to sit tight i will get your quick reaction it is about immigration, interesting, president trump tweeted this such a difference in the media coverage of a same images policies between the obama administration and ours, actually we have done a far better job, in that our facilities are cleaner, and better run than the facilities under obama. fake news working overtime. there is more on this, about hiring many thousands of judges going through a long complicated legal process, is not the way to go. people must simply be stopped at the border. talking about due process, thank you for that we've got to run ge

. >> neilson said this is not a policy. this is not even a policy.id this was a policy. >> have any men come out to speak on this? >> when asked whether this policy was intended to send a message, she said i am offended by that question, deeply offended. meanwhile, jeff sessions, stooem stephen miller and others said this is a tough deterrent. it's what we want. i know we'll get into it, but there are 2300 or so kids separated from their family. >> traumatized. >> they are sitting in the legal limbo. >> where are the girls? >> heidi, one of the things, there's so many elementsf this but what will we be saying if russia seized 2300 children and if russia didn't allow the world to see pictures of babies being incarcerated, toddlers being incarcerated, young girls being incarcerated? the centralized state of donald j. trump is refusing to allow the press, and by extension, americans to see what condition toddlers are being incarcerated in in the united states of america. babies are being -- 3-year-old girls are being incarcerated. this is something puti
