    Stop Chad Wolf from being confirmed as permanent DHS Secretary!

    Petition to the Senate:
    Reject Donald Trump's nomination of Chad Wolf -- do not confirm him to be the Secretary of Homeland Security.

    Trump isn’t just trying to ram another Supreme Court Justice nomination through the Senate. He also wants the Senate to make acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf permanent.

    If that name sounds familiar, it’s because he’s the guy who sent unmarked federal agents into Portland a few months ago to snatch protesters off the street.1 Chad Wolf shouldn’t have this job at all, let alone have his job become permanent.

    Even just the act of sending secret police into a US city to capture protesters in unmarked vans and take them to undisclosed locations is abhorrent. But unfortunately Chad Wolf has a long rap sheet of atrocities.

    Chad Wolf lied to Congress2 about his involvement in separating children from the families at the border. He also refused to follow a Supreme Court order to reopen DACA applications for Dreamers.3

    And just this week, reporters found out that under his leadership, DHS awarded $6 million in government contracts to a firm where his wife is an executive.4

    Chad Wolf is the epitome of “The Swamp.” You know, the thing that Trump said he was going to drain?

    The Senate can’t just roll over and give Trump everything he wants. Chad Wolf should be out of a job, not installed permanently.
