United States Secret Service director Randolph "Tex" Alles is being removed from his position, multiple administration officials tell CNN.
President Donald Trump instructed his acting chief of staff, Mick Mulvaney, to fire Alles. Alles remains in his position as of now but has been asked to leave.
The Secret Service director reports directly to the Secretary of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen, who resigned on Sunday amid growing pressure from the President. The director oversees the Secret Service's work on both protection and investigations.
"There is a near-systematic purge happening at the nation's second-largest national security agency," this official says.
United States Citizenship and Immigration Services director Francis Cissna and Office of the General Counsel's John Mitnick are expected to be gone soon, and the White House is eyeing others to be removed.
The President in recent weeks empowered Stephen Miller to lead the administration's border policies "and he's executing his plan" with what amounts to a wholesale decapitation or the Department of Homeland Security leadership, the official says.

That’s a scary thought. Mexican drug cartels must be in a foul mood these days... their hero is in jail, and Trump is threatening Mexico about stopping them.
How far will they go to fight back?
Cleaning house usually results in a book deal for each one fired, that's one of the perks of being a faceless bureaucrat.
Tex is another former USMC general, a veteran of Gulf War I, an action Trump has criticized. If I was POTUS, I would strongly think about an ex cop instead of ex military to head my protection detail. I would also have a few loyal veteran assassins on board in the black budget.
Yes it was SS.

Secret Service should have found, arrested and charged those involved in FISA wiretaps on the President.
Another Marine General who looks dirty. Retired in 2011 and went to work for Obama. He’s an open borders type.
Good riddance.
Interesting. I never liked it when Roger Stone claimed that DJT’s long time security chief (Schippers?) was given the boot by WH COS. I always thought that guy should be around the President all the time, as well.
Praying for the President.
everybody left over from Obama should have been kicked out on day 1
Clean House Trump.
Excellent
Trump has had time to observe people and make his decisions.
Onward...
Sometimes they need a little more rope to hang themselves and offer irrefutable proof of disloyalty, or to even unwittingly point to other bad guys. Seems like Trump has the ball rolling down hill on Swamp-draining efforts. . . excellent.
Me thinks Schippers is still serving Mr. Trump in a non-governmental way.
Does the name (Roger?) Shiller mean anything to you?
All weak bumps GET OUT!!!
A chinese spy arrested at mar-a-lago and a few days later DHS secretary and Secret service chief both fired. Coincidence?
“To my knowledge, he STILL has 4 US Marine guards around him at all times.”
I’m convinced that THEY have kept Trump alive.
Remember that our Secret Service is tasked with protecting all our worst domestic enemies, and we know that they ALL want.
Thanks for the ping. HOORAY President Trump!
All hail this (Stephen Miller) as THE key move to get immigration handled. At last a take-no-prisoners decision that will move the needle.
