Immigration Hub: Senate Must Reject Chad Wolf as DHS Secretary

WASHINGTON, D.C.— Ahead of the nomination hearing for Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Acting Secretary Chad Wolf before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, Kerri Talbot, Director of Federal Advocacy for the Immigration Hub, issued the following statement:

“Chad Wolf’s tenure at DHS is marked by unthinkable atrocities against immigrant families, egregious abuses of power and the Trump administration’s xenophobic and racist anti-immigration policies. Rather than be rewarded with a Senate-confirmed position, Wolf must answer for the rogue agency's long list of abuses under his watch, including cruelty against families at the border and violence against protestors in places like Portland. We call on the Senate to reject Wolf’s confirmation and instead conduct a thorough investigation into the countless scandals under Wolf’s leadership.”
