victim of domestic or gang violence is not grounds for asylum. i think we re seeing again and again the court striking down what the trump administration is doing on immigration, primarily because congress isn t acting, so then they re going with these really extreme measures. but we re also likely to see something like that again to challenge the asylum policy she s announcing today. that she s going to turn people back to mexico. i think we would see something like that. like you just said, the whims of the executive. that was the language of judge sullivan about this last case. you may hear that exact same language about what came out today, because the trump administration is now saying, if you are from a central american country and you come to the united states, we could send you back to mexico where you ll have to wait for your case. we talked to attorneys today who are saying, number one, that could be illegal. number two, who s going to keep those people safe? that s the r
replace general john kelly. then he says mick has done an outstanding job while in the administration. this is somebody who already wears a number of hats in the administration. he s the director of office management and before that he was a congressman. this is somebody who could potentially help donald trump see around the corners here as the house democrats take control in january and send a deluge of subpoenas to the west wing. acting is the buzzword there. who knows who demanded the acting? we don t have any word. remember nick ayers was supposed to be the acting. he didn t want to spend more than a few months in that. and the president wanted a two-year commitment. so all day we ve seen all week we ve seen people take their name off the list of consideration. mark meadows, chris christie. now mick mulvaney appears to be the last man standing. he was the acting head of the
