"On Fathers Day, I think of the more than 11,000 children separated from their parents and detained at the border under new zero-tolerance enforcement. In our names, we are becoming a cruel, draconian, oppressive country. On our watch, we are using torture as a tactic to close our borders. Think of the same happening to you as a parent, or you as a child. I take responsibility for this. These are my laws, this is my government. Blame can be thrown any direction, but the truth remains, what we are doing to these families is unconscionable. Spreading hate and fear, sending a signal to the world that this kind of reprehensible behaviour is acceptable, is rotten to the core. Is this who we are? Is this what we now represent?"

Big Bend National Park – Following rains this past week, Big Bend National Park’s fire danger has been reduced to Moderate, prompting park managers to remove restrictions that had been in place to protect park visitors and park resources during the past months of extreme fire danger.

Juniper Flats, Boulder Meadows, and Pinnacles backpacking sites are now open for camping. The park additionally has removed the temporary ban on charcoal fires and smoking in the Chisos Campground. The park would like to remind visitors that while fire danger has been reduced, visitors to the park should still take care to prevent human caused wildfires. The park’s regulations prohibiting ground fires, wood fires, and smoking on trails in the Chisos Mountains are still in place.

From Will Hurd: WASHINGTON, DC – Today, S. 2397, the Senate companion to U.S. Representative Will Hurd’s DHS Data Framework Act, was unanimously approved by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. In response to this great news, Hurd released the following statement:

“It’s 2018. Our law enforcement should be able to get the right information to the right people at the right time, to keep our nation’s enemies on the run and off our shores. DHS personnel need to share information quickly without compromising our nation’s secrets, and that’s why my colleagues on both sides of the aisle unanimously approved the DHS Data Framework Act in the House,” said Hurd, who spent almost a decade as an undercover officer in the CIA and serves on the House Homeland Security Committee. “I applaud Senator Maggie Hassan for introducing the DHS Data Framework Act in the Senate and her Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee colleagues for recognizing this initiative to keep Americans safe.”

 The DHS Data Framework Act codifies an effort at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to develop a data framework to incorporate all DHS component agency data related to homeland security, terrorist information, weapons of mass destruction, and national intelligence, into one system, thereby alleviating the current costly, cumbersome process of searching and vetting information against multiple databases with different log-ins, passwords, and legal restrictions.
