Donald Trump is tapping Gen. John Kelly to run the Department of Homeland Security, CBS News confirms.
The final request and acceptance, sources told CBS’ Major Garrett, occurred while Kelly was traveling in Europe. His pick for DHS secretary will be announced by the transition staff in the coming days.
Kelly is the third general tapped by the president-elect, joining Gen. James Mattis, Mr. Trump’s pick to become the next secretary of Defense, and Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn, Mr. Trump’s incoming national security advisor.
Like Mattis, Kelly is a Marine with a reputation for bluntness.

“...reality is that Trump ran on ‘law and order’, the lawless were warned..”
This is why I believe Trump is a gift from God. The man understands and affirms the purpose of civil government:
ROMANS 13:1-7!
That is enough to qualify him regardless of his fleshly faults.
Kelly is the safe pick. Kobach would be the more outside the Establishment pick who would be attacked regardless of whether he is the DHS Secretary or the Deputy. Both slots require Congressional approval. Kobach will be in the Dem controlled media spotlight regardless. Kris has been the brains behind the immigration movement for more than a decade.
Hopefully Kobach will be a big part of the team. I wanted him too for the job.
Unless he decided to have them do it once he made the decision.
Kelly has already been confirmed by the Senate during his military service. Spot on about it being the safe pick.
Is TSA under DHS?
Worry??? Me??? With President Trump at the helm, and God's Hands on his shoulders and the very fine people he is picking...NOT A WORRY IN THE WORLD!!!
John, James, and Michael. All good biblical and American names.
That sounds great.
Kobach is a good guy but he has no experience fighting Islamic terrorism.
Gen. Kelly has been fighting them for decades and his son died fighting them in Afghanistan.
My new bosses, bosses, boss. I no longer feel like I should have my eyes averted toward the ground in shame.
Oh, right. Bolton would be good. Though I fear he might get a compromise #2 position (like Kobach) with someone less controversial as SoS.
Let’s get Alan West in there somewhere, Donald.

He hates muzzies
I’ll wait until I hear this directly from President Trump.
Isn’t it refreshing not to hear a Muslim name for someone in a position of power in the US?
SOS will probably be Rex Tillerson. A reporter threw all those names at Trump this morning and all he said was “and Rex Tillerson”.
Fact is, these stories have been garbage since the election, showing what idiots these so-called “journalists” are.

Trump has been rag dolling these libtards since he rolled on the scene. He is the master of the head fake and rope-a-dope.
Personally, I imagine he takes great delight in cleaning people’s clocks. Particularly, those who’ve misjudged/insulted/maligned/slandered/libeled him.
better than Sheriff David Clarke
Shouldnt homeland security have a civilian
I assume any Trump leak is initiated by Mr. Trump himself. He likes to float rumors, we all know that.
