DHS announced late Tuesday the creation of an interagency border emergency cell. 'Padilla' is responsible for improving the sharing of information and coordinating support among DHS agencies, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Customs and Border Protection, Citizenship and Immigration Services, and others.

Padilla is being temporarily reassigned from his post as the director of the DHS Joint Task Force West, which President Trump appointed him to last September. He was previously the chief of Border Patrol's busiest sector on the southern border, the Rio Grande Valley in Texas.

He is headed to the Federal Emergency Management Agency's National Response Coordination Center in Washington for his assignment.

Nielsen is in Europe this week for the G7 Interior Ministers’ Meeting in Paris, but is scheduled to visit Calexico, Calif., with President Trump on Friday.

He certainly has a lot of stars for a civilian, but then again so do most police chiefs.

DHS taps 'Manuel Padilla' [...]

Is that his alias, or what?

I get the feeling she is in way over her head.

I’m trying to imagine being the leader of an agency, whose PRIME duty is to guard our border. Then there is a humongous CRISIS at that border. And I take a trip to Europe.

I have been in positions where much was expected of me as the leader of a group. If a crisis arose in that group, I know I would be right there to try to fix it. I don’t care if you have to be creative in the solution, but, for Heaven’s sake, I WOULD NOT LEAVE THE COUNTRY.

The rest is just gut feeling, I didn’t think she was qualified just watching the confirmation.

Again, JMHO.
