and head of customs and border protection is replacing nielson that now leaves a big void at the cdp. we found out monday that the head of the secret service is being forced to re-sign and francis could be next on the chopping block. all of this is happening while the situation at the border continues to get more chaotic and nothing this administration has done seems to make a dent. so what you have is a president that thought immigration could be his best issue in 2020 but unless he turns things around, it could end up being his greatest failure. john allen put it this way, quote, the humanitarian emergency at the border threatens to create a crisis in competence for his administration. if illegal immigration was a problem before trump took office, it has become worse, not better, since then and he is looking for scapegoats. remember those scapegoats will be members of his own administration. many of whom the president chose. remember kirstjen nielsen was not a lay over. he chose her. i'm going to go to hans at the white house. help us understand this. how are all of these firings su

." >> kirstjen nielson is meeting with president trump right now amid growing she might resign. >> let'she white house. reporter: we're watching the fence cam. you can see who is coming in and out of the white house for these sorts of meetings, so far department of homeland security has not responded to our question for comments

to answer any questions and if you have any follow-up questions for any of my colleagues or jill nielson from daas, happy to answer. >> there's going to be an opportunity for public comment, but for now i will see if my colleagues have any comments or questions? yes? supervisor walton. >> supervisor walton: thank you, chair mandelman. so right now i just have one question and maybe h.h.s. could answer this, where would you say that the gaps in services are? >> i guess i'm up. um, so, i mean, i think that there are gaps throughout this system. i mean, we're talking -- i think that there's absolutely, you know, gaps in community-based residential care programs and whether they're board and care facilities or transitional housing and treatment programs or skilled nursing facilities. there's definitely gap there is so that when people are leaving p.e.s., whether or not there's housing available for them, if they still need care, -- sorry -- if they still need care and we don't either have permanent supportive housing or they still have medical issues that make it difficult for them to get in

attorney general jeff sessions originally say that it was meant as a deterrent, then you had secretary nielson say it was in place. this administration has never even admitted that they had a policy of separating children from their parents. we need to get them to admit that so we can solve the problem and that's what the problem is. they really don't care about policy or the facts on the ground. i've been to the border numerous times. i spent the night with undocumented immigrants and asylum seekers overnight on the concrete. they're just looking to make sure that they have a legal right to ask for asylum. it's a heartbreaking situation but we'll keep pushing and hold this administration accountable. >> immigration continues to be front and center for the president. what do you make of the president announcing nearly on the day that he was traveling to the border with california that he was pulling his nomination for immigration and customs enforcement and he pulled him saying now he's going for a tougher director, two white house officials and another source telling us that the white house s

what did we hear about him with nielson? i'm going to close the border. don't do that. it's not only problematic in terms of process but it's legally problematic. i'm going to do it anyway. i want to do separation of kids more than ever. you signed an executive order saying that is over. we don't do that anymore and then a join injoined us. i want to do it anyway. i want to dump these detainees. no you can't do that. it's ripe for legal challenge. i'm going to do it anyway. that's what he keeps doing and it's not political -- >> it's political saber rattling. we can argue all day whether it's the right tone or whether it's the right thing to say but the bottom line is that's not tyrannical or violating the constitution. what he is doing is political saber rattling to get folks to the table to try to deal with this issue. >> does that make you feel better? it's just words. it's just him saying it. he's living rent free in your head once again. you took it way too serious? >> no this is not just a one off. he was displeased with kirstjen nielsen because she said there wer

i would like to thank secretary nielson and chief simonite and thank you very much.c. the job you've done. and you're going to be speaking later on and explaining exactly what is happening with the wall and how much. in fact we'll be doing some of it now, i think. probably better time to do. commissioner kevin -- >> president trump speaking with immigration officials and members of congress there, calexico, california. along the u.s./mexico border. we'll keep an ear to the ground on what he has to say. quick break. we're back in a moment. oh! oh! oh! ♪ ozempic®! ♪ (announcer) people with type 2 diabetes are excited about the potential of once-weekly ozempic®. in a study with ozempic®, a majority of adults lowered their blood sugar and reached an a1c of less than seven and maintained it. oh! under seven? and you may lose weight. in the same one-year study, adults lost on average up to 12 pounds. oh! up to 12 pounds? a two-year study showed that ozempic® does not increase the risk of major cardiovascular events like heart attack, stroke, or death. oh! no increased risk

does congress have the responsibility to give secretary nielson more tools to deal with this temporarily? >> let me tell you the first thing we ought to do in this administration, which was the author of the zero tolerance policy removing over 2,800 toddlers, infants and children from their parents with no tracing of where they were being sent so they could be returned. the first thing we need to do is to meet the humanitarian needs at the border. instead of building fences two or three years in the future by taking money from the department of defense, focus on facilities to serve these families so there aren't children that are hurt and dying as a result of this situation. then take a look at the big picture. when the president says he's going to close the border, that is a totally unrealistic boost on his part. we need to focus on what's happening in central america where three countries are dissembling before our eyes and people are desperately coming to the united states. the president cutting off aid to these countries will not solve this problem. >> let me move quickly to health c

today's hearing takes on new significance obviously in the wake of secretary nielson's resignation. i believe the government should be in the business of keeping families together and not tearing them apart. the outgoing secretary's willingness to implement the administration's cruel and most counterproduct immigration policies and her willingness to, frankly, not be honest with congress when questioned about these policies led me to call back in june of 2018 for her resignation. the government should have a commitment to truth and accountability. under the secretary's tenure, dhs had a track record of neither. however, she was reportedly forced out because she resisted the white house's desire to embrace even more extreme tactics from defying a court order and reinstating the cruel family separation policy to closing the southern border. a political stunt that would cause dire economic consequences to our country and there are reports that even more turnover in dhs's leadership is yet to come. i believe a well functioning department of homeland security is vital to the safety and s
