So Kirstjen Nielsen got fired from running Homeland Security, and she implemented policies under Trump which focused on migrant family separation, and lied about number, conditions, and pretty much everything, and is an awful person.
We'll see if this is accurate, but reporting today suggests Trump has been exerting pressure on Nielsen and others running Homeland Security to restart / continue the migrant family separation policies and to implement actions which are illegal, and which (supposedly) the Homeland Security executive staff have found a bright line at, perhaps somewhere between moral courage and clear criminal liability.
As the reporting unfolds it is suggested that Trump has either empowered Stephen Miller or is following his advice and sweeping the deck of Homeland Security to put in people who are willing to proceed in the face of clear criminal liability, and who have less moral courage than... Kirstjen Nielsen?

According to two of the sources, Nielsen told Trump that federal court orders prohibited the Department of Homeland Security from reinstating the policy, and that he would be reversing his own executive order from June that ended family separations.
