No, in the governments custody. They only show pictures of boys. Where are the girls? Where are the ones younger than 5.
DHS Secretary Neilsen doesn’t know. I think common sense would dictate that considering the circumstances, the US government has some dead kids on its hands.
REPORTER: A couple of questions. One, why is the government only releasing images of the boys being held? Where are the girls? Where are the young toddlers?
NIELSEN: I don’t know. I’m not familiar with those particular images so I would have —
REPORTER: Do you know where they are? Do you know where the girls are? Do you know where the young toddlers are?
NIELSEN: We have children in D.H.S. care both, but as you know, most of the children after 72 hours are transferred to H.H.S. So I don’t know what pictures you’re referencing but I would have to refer you to H.H.S.
REPORTER: We’ve seen images of boys but we just haven’t seen any of the girls, any of the young toddlers and you’re saying they are being well cared for. So how could you make that claim if you don’t know where they are?
NIELSEN: It is not that I don’t know where they are. I’m saying that the vast majority of children are held by Health and Human Services. We transfer them after 72 hours.
I don’t know what pictures you’re speaking about. But perhaps they’re —
REPORTER: Pictures have been released to the public, they’ve been aired all over national television.
NIELSEN: O.K., by D.H.S. or H.H.S.?
REPORTER: By [inaudible] .H.S.
NIELSEN: So let’s find out from H.H.S. I don’t think there is anything other than [cross talk] the pictures —
REPORTER: [cross talk] released by your department. I mean, they’ve have been aired all over national television throughout the day, the kids being held in the cages. We’ve only seen the boys.
NIELSEN: I will, I will look into that. I’m not aware that there’s another picture. Yes.
That’s a pretty ridiculous performance, and would in normal times be completely unacceptable.
I have never witnessed a more desperate and pathetic effort of deflecting in all my years on these boards.
Face it, Trump was wrong. This isn’t about Obama or Bush or Clinton. It’s all about him and his stupid EO.
For eight years I heard cons tell us to “own it” when Obama did something dumb. You guys can dish it out but you can’t take it. Too funny.
