TOP STORY ... THE BORDER ... "'Grim sight': Migrants await uncertain future at strained Border Patrol facility," by Elana Schor in McAllen, Texas: "Sitting on government-issued green mattresses and huddled under Mylar sheets, more than 1,100 migrants awaited an uncertain future at a U.S. Border Patrol facility here, where resources are strained by the Trump administration's new 'zero tolerance' policy toward people entering the U.S. illegally. 

"Although the facility hasn't yet reached its capacity of 1,500, Border Patrol officials said the policy - which involves prosecuting everyone who crosses the border illegally - means the center is processing more court referrals for migrants than ever before.

"Some migrants' paperwork is now being remotely processed by agents in other Texas cities. The family separations that stem from the Trump policy add a new burden. On top of overseeing the welfare of people housed there, staff at the McAllen facility coordinate sending children to detention centers run by the Department of Health and Human Services' Office of Refugee Resettlement while their parents head to court. There are only 10 permanently assigned agents at the facility, though officials would not say how many contract or other staff were on site." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7c0f8d9a675bc6c36969ca929d03bed92029702487fe5c98f26dee81fb16aeae654ce9ca19e8e36f25 

-- BURGESS EVERETT: "GOP senators demand details from Trump administration about separated families": "Two Republican senators are demanding detailed information from the Trump administration about the separation of immigrant children from their parents when seeking asylum in the United States. 

"GOP Sens. Susan Collins of Maine and Jeff Flake of Arizona sent a letter to Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar this weekend seeking clarification on whether families are separated when they seek asylum and how often that occurs. The letter amounts to some of the strongest pushback the Trump administration has received from congressional Republicans for its policy.

"'Secretary Nielsen recently appeared before the U.S. Senate and testified that immigrant parents and children who present themselves at U.S. ports of entry to request asylum will not be separated. Despite Secretary Nielsen's testimony, a number of media outlets have reported instances where parents and children seeking asylum at a port of entry have been separated,' the two senators wrote. 'These accounts and others like them concern us.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7c47135eb9fcd501ea86286980326e25c79f7b981e9711c06e72c8e609d600d7f23621f943a2fee754 ... The letter  http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7c08d9bc41d16cff4860f1c95fa27722698320a8760570d58483e0e902c3d0d3e81711f9917e0cecc3 

CLICKER - "Here are photos inside a U.S. processing center housing immigrant kids": Texas Tribune: http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7c1851d51834b3b2e306eb28349c77d5de0ca3454f454794c628a35b841bbf87fc32558305321843b2 

WSJ: "President Donald Trump will attend a meeting of the House Republican conference Tuesday night, and immigration is likely to be one of the topics on the agenda, said Marc Short, the president's legislative affairs chief, in an interview Sunday. 'The policy is incredibly complicated and it is one we need to do a better job of communicating,' Mr. Short said, of the issue of separating families. 'We've not talked about the history of how we got to this point.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7c89c3fdeae0a602b7857122ad4b65804c6b66b03424b315800e1e4bf1e7e028a36b0e27589f489fd8 

-- NEWSFLASH: Explaining why the government is separating families at the border isn't likely to make the policy more popular. 

WHERE THE PRESIDENT STANDS -- @realDonaldTrump at 8:49 p.m.: "The Democrats should get together with their Republican counterparts and work something out on Border Security & Safety. Don't wait until after the election because you are going to lose!"

-- CONGRESS is nowhere close to a bipartisan immigration deal. The last time the two sides sat down earlier this year, talks went nowhere. 

THE WHOLE IDEA that separating families at the border is leverage seems misguided. Republicans control all of government. What incentive do Democrats have?

MELANIA SPEAKS OUT -- "Melania Trump 'hates to see' children separated from their families at borders," by CNN's Kate Bennett: "In a rare statement on a policy issue, first lady Melania Trump weighed in through her spokeswoman on the immigration crisis taking place at America's borders. 'Mrs. Trump hates to see children separated from their families and hopes both sides of the aisle can finally come together to achieve successful immigration reform,' her communications director, Stephanie Grisham, told CNN on Sunday. 'She believes we need to be a country that follows all laws, but also a country that governs with heart.'" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7c6671b9e6f4ff42f083ef0388dbe7f5e6609389f9f8364198eb745cd66aaa0be7e3da3f0e747b6c25

... AND BILL CLINTON (@BillClinton): "On this Father's Day I'm thinking of the thousands of children separated from their parents at the border. These children should not be a negotiating tool. And reuniting them with their families would reaffirm America's belief in & support for all parents who love their children."

... AND LAURA BUSH in WaPo, "Separating children from their parents at the border 'breaks my heart'": "I live in a border state. I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zero-tolerance policy is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart. Our government should not be in the business of warehousing children in converted box stores or making plans to place them in tent cities in the desert outside of El Paso.

"These images are eerily reminiscent of the Japanese American internment camps of World War II, now considered to have been one of the most shameful episodes in U.S. history. ... We pride ourselves on believing that people should be seen for the content of their character, not the color of their skin. ...

"Recently, Colleen Kraft, who heads the American Academy of Pediatrics, visited a shelter run by the U.S. Office of Refugee Resettlement. She reported that while there were beds, toys, crayons, a playground and diaper changes, the people working at the shelter had been instructed not to pick up or touch the children to comfort them. Imagine not being able to pick up a child who is not yet out of diapers." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7c2b8aa5fb2cd188a9079eb90645bc55d2266f95338196aedffb42c7c628276d571f85fe9a546aa7d8

DHS SECRETARY KIRSTJEN NIELSEN DEFENDS THE POLICY (@SecNielsen): "This misreporting by Members, press & advocacy groups must stop. It is irresponsible and unproductive. As I have said many times before, if you are seeking asylum for your family, there is no reason to break the law and illegally cross between ports of entry. ... We do not have a policy of separating families at the border. Period."

-- WAPO'S JOSH DAWSEY (@jdawsey1) replies: "??? People in your White House described to me and others Friday as leverage in negotiations and a deterrent."

-- MSNBC'S JACOB SOBOROFF (@jacobsoboroff) on the ground in McAllen: "Shockingly there are situations where a parent may be taken to court to be charged, a separation occurs, only to return the same day sentenced to 'time served' - but their child has already been taken to another facility. At that point nobody knows when they'd be reunited. ...

"In terms of the facilities, migrants are detained behind large metal chain link cells. Mats on the floor. Mylar silver blankets everywhere. Temperature is 72 degrees. ... There were only four contracted social workers to deal with separated kids & others who need it in the processing center." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7cb9fbbc6e9bba5d97ad9797fb89bde8bc844d3cf79b4875f1ae87950f85efeefb72427cf8f9941b30 

-- "At least 5 die when SUV crashes after being chased by Border Patrol, then deputy, Texas sheriff says," by CNN's AnneClaire Stapleton and Darran Simon: http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7c81461650a7533e6399cbd2ffda791706eee1c4632b58b0357c5011864b25447a530e4ea54f5455c9 

Good Monday morning. INSIDE THE WHITE HOUSE -- NANCY COOK, "Slow-moving White House communications shakeup sinks morale": "President Donald Trump has always been happy to act as his own chief spokesman, and amid the ongoing shakeup of the White House communications office, staffers seem increasingly happy to let him. ... Inside the two areas of the White House where reporters can freely roam, almost no one was available to comment as Trump's former campaign manager Paul Manafort was ordered into jail custody while awaiting trial on fraud charges, or as House Republicans scrambled to hold together an immigration deal on the Hill.

"At one point, two young staffers huddled in the office of absent deputy press secretary Lindsay Walters, with one styling the other's hair. An hour later, a brunette examined her full head of curls in a mirror as she stood near two rows of mostly empty White House desks. ... One of the few to have benefited from the restructuring is Julia Hahn, a prot&eacute;g&eacute; of former White House strategist Steve Bannon. Hahn has temporarily taken over the communications portfolio of recently departed aide Kelly Sadler and now sends out talking points and messages to White House allies." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7c2ac5c3dd4a1112209a9f3015c61145d59e489910ccaf9dbd3cf9c64e445da951abb7e1f605553257

-- CHRIS CADELAGO: "Trump's outside advisers see little upside in joining White House as staff" http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7c3f7e85cf8ab06db873dd30576983677e0247f4e60c3117551bc2e3586abcb2be4694949cc7d687d2 

JARED WATCH -- ANNIE KARNI, "Where Jared's words came from": "Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer is often referred to as 'Bibi's brain,' for his close relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. But according to a new book, he might sometimes play the role of 'Jared's brain,' too. 

"During the 2016 presidential campaign, Jared Kushner was widely credited for the content and unusual style - a rare-at-the-time teleprompter moment - of his father-in-law's speech in front of the hard-line Jewish lobbying group AIPAC. But writer Emily Jane Fox, whose book 'Born Trump' is set for release Tuesday, writes that it was Dermer who essentially dictated the speech for Kushner, who then loaded it into the teleprompter for Trump.

"On a call with Kushner ahead of the speech, Fox writes, Dermer 'talked for a solid hour about the U.N., about Iran, about hard lines and language that was very important to the Israelis, and about many people who would be in the audience that day.' 

"For Kushner, who was scrambling to put together a Middle East policy agenda for his father-in-law, Fox writes, Dermer's lecture was like 'getting your hands on the answer key the night before the final exam.' The day after his conversation with Dermer, Fox writes, Kushner sent a copy of the speech over to Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson for review. Adelson promptly forwarded it back to Dermer. 

"'The text Dermer read was like a transcript of what he had told Jared in their phone call, right down to the jokes,' Fox writes. 'It was basically wholesale theft.' Dermer said he briefed Kushner, as he did top officials on many campaigns, but denied that the son-in-law took dictation. 'The suggestion that I dictated Trump's AIPAC speech to Jared Kushner is ridiculous,' Dermer said in a statement to POLITICO." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7cd95526e39d336c84be9ab88fa87c3f6d8eade9d8f6676fad579b660bb37eadd358d724a4402eff7c ... $19.58 on Amazon http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7ce4778eee4c17874f76ad4f332b17944ef08c85d26addccaba609dcb47c14e764983a688f976caa15

-- ANOTHER INTERESTING NUGGET: "Part of how Charles Kushner maintains control over his children and grandchildren, Fox writes, is by showering them with his wealth. Jared Kushner's parents have purchased multimillion-dollar apartments in Manhattan for each of their grandchildren, she writes. For now, the apartments sit in a trust called 'Kinderlach,' the Yiddish word for 'children.' Fox writes that Ivanka Trump also refers to Seryl and Charles as 'mom' and 'dad' - a detail that is unlikely to go unnoticed by or to please her actual father."

SEXUAL HARASSMENT FILES -- "Political Fundraisers Face Harassment From An Endless Stream Of Men With Money: And young women in the industry are generally expected to just laugh it off," by HuffPost's Molly Redden: "In a profession dominated by young women, in which intimate meetings are the norm and powerful men direct a tidal wave of cash, enduring widespread sexual harassment has long been seen as just a cost of doing business. The options for recourse, many fundraisers told HuffPost, are limited. 

"Fundraisers don't share a common employer with the donors, and rebuking a benefactor in person risks losing access and money. About half of fundraisers in all fields reported experiencing sexual harassment, mostly at the hands of donors, according to a March survey of more than 1,000 professional fundraisers, and 1 out of 5 people who responded to the survey described harassment in the industry as 'rampant.'

"In politics, where fundraising is often combined with the pressure cooker conditions of election campaigns, the problem can be even more pronounced. ... During the 2016 election, there were more than 45,000 donors who gave more than $10,000 to candidates, political action committees and political parties and more than 3,000 donors whose giving topped $100,000. Seventy percent of those generous donors were men, according to OpenSecrets." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7c105c8e2edb9b5bce1e76e70589e09eabd2c73ad7b32013a384ec2a550494309c45471fe32501c8da 

THE INVESTIGATIONS -- "FBI agent removed from Russia probe for anti-Trump texts says he's willing to testify before Congress," by WaPo's Matt Zapotosky: "Peter Strzok, who was singled out in a recent Justice Department inspector general report for the politically charged messages, would be willing to testify without immunity, and he would not invoke his Fifth Amendment rights in response to any question, his attorney, Aitan Goelman, said in an interview Sunday. Strzok has become a special target of President Trump, who has used the texts to question the Russia investigation. Goelman said Strzok 'wants the chance to clear his name and tell his story.'

"'He thinks that his position, character and actions have all been misrepresented and caricatured, and he wants an opportunity to remedy that,' the lawyer said. If Strzok were to testify publicly, the hearing could be explosive, perhaps exposing new details about investigators' thinking on some of the FBI's most high-profile probes." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7cef27d68305c7b42e1fdcbcf1f0b803510fb7c1fb2713d81d3bd048968b9e05317033709a6e4dcbb5 

-- 'I JUST DIDN'T REMEMBER' -- "Roger Stone 'not concerned' he failed to tell Congress about 2016 Russia contact," by ABC News' Ali Dukakis and Tara Palmeri: "Roger Stone says he is not concerned that he neglected to tell to congressional investigators about a meeting he held with a Russian national offering dirt on Hillary Clinton, despite being asked about foreign contacts, the longtime friend of President Donald Trump told ABC News. Stone said Sunday he forgot, and his lawyer has since sent a letter to amend his testimony. 'I just didn't remember. 2016 was a pretty busy year,' Stone said. 'I don't think a failure of memory constitutes a perjury.'"

FOR YOUR RADAR -- "Pentagon Puts Cyberwarriors on the Offensive, Increasing the Risk of Conflict," by NYT's David E. Sanger: "The Pentagon has quietly empowered the United States Cyber Command to take a far more aggressive approach to defending the nation against cyberattacks, a shift in strategy that could increase the risk of conflict with the foreign states that sponsor malicious hacking groups. ... [I]n the spring, as the Pentagon elevated the command's status, it opened the door to nearly daily raids on foreign networks, seeking to disable cyberweapons before they can be unleashed, according to strategy documents and military and intelligence officials."

GOP POLICY BITES THE DUST -- "Republicans give up on Medicare overhaul," by Adam Cancryn and Sarah Ferris: "Republicans on Capitol Hill are giving up on what might be their last best chance to overhaul Medicare, just as they're losing their leading champion on the issue, House Speaker Paul Ryan. The quiet surrender on a subject that's energized GOP fiscal hawks for the better part of a decade comes as new projections show Medicare's trust fund in its worst shape since the recession, partly because of Republicans' other chief obsession: their sweeping tax cuts. 

"That's left conservatives unsure how to agitate for a politically unpopular Medicare overhaul - one that President Donald Trump detests - and raises new questions about who will take up the entitlement reform mantle as Ryan heads for the exits." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7cc26470aa3e4a89fc87c147910d6e711b896b4ab0f5dbce1240361b5a4b4e640af3e7009fcdddd2a2

SCOOP -- "Secret VA nursing home ratings hide poor quality care from the public," by Donovan Slack and Andrea Estes on the cover of USA Today and The Boston Globe: "The agency has tracked detailed quality statistics on its nursing homes for years but has kept them from public view, depriving veterans of potentially crucial health care information. 

"Nearly half of VA nursing homes nationwide - 60 - received the agency's lowest ranking of one out of five stars as of Dec. 31, 2017, according to documents obtained by USA TODAY and The Boston Globe. ... Statistics the VA has not released paint a picture of government nursing homes that scored worse on average than their private sector counterparts on nine of 11 key indicators last year, including rates of anti-psychotic drug prescription and residents' deterioration." http://go.politicoemail.com/?qs=6316b8870c041a7c1170349c105d5f8455696e4664394b3ab8da3532506387f306f073c6106e40eb6d7ea506971f073f
