BORDER/CHILDREN/JOHN KELLY/TRUMP PEOPLE: “Former White House chief of staff and retired Marine Gen. John Kelly has joined the board of directors for Caliburn International, the parent company of Comprehensive Health Services, which operates shelters for unaccompanied migrant children. One of the shelters the company operates is Homestead, a temporary influx facility in Florida that houses unaccompanied migrant children. …Kelly served as Trump’s chief of staff until the end of last year, a tumultuous tenure that ended with Kelly exiting while no longer being on speaking terms with the President. The former general was seen as a largely stabilizing force within the administration, but did manage to stir up controversy by insulting Democratic Rep. Frederica Wilson of Florida and some recipients of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program. Kelly’s ties to family separations date to when he served as secretary of Homeland Security under Trump. He confirmed in 2017 that the department was considering separating children from their parents at the border.”
