PFAW Member,
The Acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, Chad Wolf, has done such an excellent job at being a Trump lackey, that he’s officially been nominated for the job!
Since taking over the role last year, Wolf has helped carry out the Trump administration’s child separation policy, enforce Trump’s Muslim Ban, undermine the DACA program, and more recently deployed U.S. Customs and Border Patrol agents that have used forced against and detained peaceful protestors in cities across the country.
Sign and send the petition now demanding that the Senate REJECT Chad Wolf as DHS Secretary! >>
In the months following George Floyd’s death, while unrest raged across the nation, Trump – worried about his image – began cracking down on protestors by ordering the mobilization of military and other federal agents to contain protests. To comply with Trump’s requests, DHS deployed unmarked forces that snatched peaceful protestors off the streets in multiple cities without cause, violating their constitutional rights.
The complicity doesn’t stop there: following a recent Supreme Court order for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services to again process new applicants for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program, DHS issued a new memo saying they would “thoughtfully consider the future of the DACA policy,” while taking no meaningful steps to begin accepting new applications to the program.
During a hearing this past June, Wolf stated under oath that he had no part in developing and enacting the separation of families and the caging of children. However, in his then capacity as Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen’s chief of staff, Wolf sent an email to Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ counsel that outlined options for curbing undocumented immigration, which included ‘separate family units,’ as well as expediting the deportation of children.
Wolf lied about his role in the inhumane Trump family separation policy and we cannot allow him to continue carrying out this policy.
Tell the Senate: OPPOSE Chad Wolf as DHS Secretary >>
Thanks for all that you do,
- PFAW
