Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) said in a statement that Nielsen’s “lack of transparency” at the department, combined with her “record of misleading statements including [Sunday’s] denial that the Administration even had a policy of separating children at the border,” should disqualify her from leading DHS. Harris was the first lawmaker to call on Nielsen to step down. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) also called on Nielsen to resign after touring the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego on Monday.
