MEXICO CITY (AP) — U.S. Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly says there will be “no mass deportations” and “no use of military forces” in enforcing President Donald Trump’s immigration crackdown.

Kelly is speaking in Mexico City after he and U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson met their Mexican counterparts. Kelly says everything the U.S. does on immigration will be done legally and with respect for human rights.

He also says actions will occur in close coordination with Mexico’s government.

Earlier Thursday, Trump said deportations are “a military operation” because the U.S. has allowed too many bad people into the country previously

  1. While this article seems short on details, it’s my understanding from a casual reading of current news stories, that mass deportations have been underway the last few weeks.

  2. Nope, im not going to use that ‘disconnect’ word, it wouldn’t be prudent.

    So Kellly is in Mexico directly contradicting what his boss is up here saying just like Pence was just in Europe directly contradicting what his boss had said.

    Wouldn’t it just be easier to get rid of the boss since this is a constant feature of this administration?

  4. Sorry, Kelly. You and your ochre organ grinder boss own this clusterfuck!

  5. It appears standard disAdminstration procedure is to directly contradict Comrade Chaos within 24-hours to keep the “fine-tuned machine” running.
