President Trump confirms Kirstjen Nielsen out as DHS secretary
Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigned from her position on Sunday evening, after serving sixteen months on the job.
In a tweet, President Trump said Nielsen “will be leaving her position,” and announced that Kevin McAleenan, the current U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner, will become Acting Secretary as he searches for a permanent replacement. Internally, though, staffers and officials said Nielsen is viewed by some as too loyal to the president, often catering to his demands despite the legal implications. Officials said Nielsen’s public rhetoric on immigration and asylum is crafted specifically to cater to President Trump.
In news briefings compiled for the secretary and her senior staff over the last three weeks and obtained by The Daily Beast, the secretary was shown to have overwhelmingly received news updates on the caravan and President Trump’s remarks on immigration enforcement, despite the two mass shootings and security concerns about midterm elections.
Despite that near-myopic focus on immigration, the president has reportedly been frustrated with Nielsen’s enforcement of some of his more controversial border policies for some time, most notably the chaotic implementation and eventual reversal of its family separation policy in late spring. At the time, Nielsen told reporters that the policy didn’t even exist—“period”—even as the government held hundreds of undocumented minor children who had forcibly been taken from their parents.
