President Trump announced Sunday afternoon that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen "will be leaving her position" after 16 months in the job.
Trump also announced that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Kevin McAleenan will replace Nielsen as acting secretary, tweeting: "I have confidence that Kevin will do a great job!"
...
Nielsen's departure is the latest staffing shakeup in the department, which was founded to combat terrorism after the Sept. 11, 2001 terror attacks.
On Friday, Trump confirmed he had withdrawn the nomination of acting Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director Ron Vitiello to become the permanent head of the agency, telling reporters that "Rons a good man, but were going in a tougher direction, we want to go in a tougher direction."

That is only true going in the right wing direction. If the President pushes a leftist agenda they give him unlimited lee-way and power.
We need to push the envelope and find that out. We need the truth.
“Geez! Give it a rest. Do you have Romney ancestors in your line?”
Could you give me a minute? I have to adjust my underwear.
Because it was literally being reported from multiple sources. The fact of the matter is Jared and Ivanka both have large influence on Trump and both of them have repeatedly caused problems by giving him bad advice and influencing him to make bad decisions.
This is not some “Antisemitic conspiracy”, Trump let’s his personal affection for his daughter and son-in-law cloud his judgment.
Homeland Security should be abolished.
The jobs it does could be done by the FBI, ICE & ATF
It is a useless duplication of effort.
As long as Ivanka keeps smiling, Jared will have more than POTUS' ear.
She has to love him, to convert to the Jewish Faith had to be very tough on a beautiful NY millionaire.
Whether you like or hate Jared, you've got to admit he is very smart.
Fixed it.
Yes absolutely!
When she said......”As long as illegal entry remains ‘a criminal offense’, DHS will not look the other way,”..(whatever that means to look the other way)... and now we hear the Demorats say they want illegal entry to no longer be a ‘criminal offense”....Well that raised a bit more than an eyebrow regarding Nielsen for me.
I don’t want the army manning customs stations. I’ve been there and done that when I lived in Communist China.
Tough sh!t. Don't go to Mexico then.
the way to fix this is the second they come to the border you throw them right back across not bring them in for nice comfy rooms with 3 meals a day on our taxpayer dime..they come throw their asses back end of story
I stated this before, and I’ll do so again.
TRUMP IS HIS OWN MAN. He is president. He calls the shots. He may listen to the council of others, but in the end the decision is his and his alone.
Blaming his bad decisions on “Jarred” or anybody else is what constitutes “low class” and idiocy. The buck stops at Trump’s desk. Period.
I’m nobody’s fool, and I’m not blind. I know exactly what drives blaming every bad decision on Kushner. There are two very definitive trends on Free Republic, both of which are growing and intensifying - one is antisemitic and the other is anti-Catholic. And I am fkg sick of it.
You should cool off before you continue slandering people with false accusations.
Some folks are just jealous of actual border walls.
...so does this mean they can start using barbed hooks for their catch and release program ? [/sarc]
I do. In fact - I want the military to not only man the customs stations and borders - I want them to summarily execute on the spot every effing cartel mule, human trafficker,and gang member the find. Shove the bastards to the ground, put a 45 to the back of his head, and pull the trigger - twice. If that bothers you - too bad. Maybe if we were a bit more like the Chi-comms when it comes to crime and punishment, we’d have less of both.
And get taken up on impeachment for "crimes against humanity."
Thanks for playing, troll-boi.
In case you ain’t payin’ attention, boy - this is a war. Maybe you prefer the the side win? II suggest you learn to speak Mexican Spanish well and soon.
