Nadler: Border Agency Chiefs Should Be Prosecuted For Child Abuse
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerry Nadler said Monday that the heads of border and immigration agencies should face criminal prosecution for what he says is child abuse at border detention facilities.
“This is inhuman. Frankly, I think it’s criminal,” Nadler, a New York Democrat, told MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow.
“There ought to be criminal prosecutions of some of the agency heads and some of the people for child abuse. This is clearly child abuse. It violates probably half a dozen laws.”
Nadler was commenting on reports from 13 House Democrats who visited a border facility in El Paso, Tex. earlier on Monday. The lawmakers said they saw Central American migrants being held with limited supplies of water.
New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, who took part in the visit, claimed that Customs and Border Protection agents told female detainees to drink water from toilets. When asked whether she witnessed such an exchange, Ocasio-Cortez declined to answer. She also reportedly screamed at agents in “a threatening manner” and refused to tour parts of the facility.
Border facilities have been inundated this year with a massive influx of Central Americans applying for asylum to live in the U.S. The surge has stretched the resources at Customs and Border Protection facilities.
Nadler did not say who at the immigration and border agencies should face criminal charges. Kevin McAleenan is serving as acting secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. Ken Cuccinelli is serving as acting director of U.S. Customs and Immigration Services, while John Sanders is acting commissioner of Customs and Border Protection.
Supreme Court to hear Trump administration plea to end DACA program for immigrants who came as children
WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court finally agreed Friday to referee a two-year-old dispute between President Trump and Democrats in Congress over the fate of nearly 700,000 undocumented immigrants brought to the United States as children.
The high court showdown, which could be decided in the midst of the 2020 presidential election, will determine whether Trump has the power to end the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program known as DACA that President Barack Obama created in 2012.
Although the justices had refused the administration's request to intervene until now, their decision to hear the case next term signals a potential win for the White House. Three federal district courts and two appeals courts have blocked Trump from ending the program; only one district court has ruled in his favor.
The Justice Department has sought since the beginning of 2018 to make their case at the Supreme Court, which the president earlier this year said has "treated us very fairly" after other lower court defeats. Three times, the justices turned down the request.
The administration first announced its plan to wind down DACA in September 2017. The plan was challenged immediately in federal courts from New York to California and blocked nationwide by judges in both of those states. Federal appeals courts in California and Virginia have extended the losing streak.
One theory for the high court's previous reluctance to weigh in is its effort to avoid controversial issues for two reasons. Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh's contentious Senate confirmation last fall put the court's legitimacy in jeopardy, and the justices likely don't want to be an issue in the 2020 elections.
The DACA program, established in 2012 without congressional approval, has protected 670,000 undocumented immigrants from deportation and enabled them to get work permits.
Trump originally proposed ending the program in 2017 but gave Congress six monthsto work out a compromise solution. That led to intense negotiations and a brief government shutdown but did not produce a law to save the so-called "Dreamers."
Since then, Trump has suggested that the Dreamers' fate could be linked to his own dream: a concrete wall or steel barrier along parts of the southern border.
His backers have argued that since Obama created the program without Congress, Trump can end it the same way. But nearly all courts have said the administration's action was "arbitrary and capricious" and would harm both the participants and the state and local governments benefiting from their economic activity.
The Supreme Court has ruled against Obama and for Trump in other immigration cases. In 2016, it blocked a broader Obama initiative aimed at protecting millions of undocumented parents. Last year, it upheld Trump's ban against travelers from seven countries, including five with Muslim majorities.
