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.

Bout time.
I never heard of ‘Tex’, but if one is not fully confident of your Secret Service Director, then you need to find a new director. I don’t quite get the relationship between Secret Service and Kristen Nielsen, but Oh well.
Over half of his administration should be removed. I can’t think of any who actually support his agenda, that includes Ivanka and Mr Ivanka.
To my knowledge, he STILL has 4 US Marine guards around him at all times.
Secret Service has been restructured to report directly to the Sec’y DHS.
Not ss
As an old boss said, if you can’t change the people, you change the people.
CNN acts like Trump is firing up some sort of night of the long knives.
There have been so many assassination attempts that I’ve lost count.
Last count I was informed of was 18 and that was last year.
The President is getting ready for a major border crackdown and high profile prosecutions.
As The World Turns will be playing heavy in the near future.
The narco cartels from the South are here now and I believe they have access to weapons of mass destruction.
Trump appointed this guy in 2017. He wasn’t a holdover.
:-)
Good! Now let’s get in some people in there who can get the job done. Have to stop the insanity at the border..I have no hate for Nielson but she wasn’t doing a damn thing, they were still pouring in by the THOUSANDS everyday
CNN is outraged if Trump blows his nose..or breathes
Was he schtooping Director Nielsen?
Chilling indeed. And absolutely believable; I put no evil deed beyond our progressives.
I used to work for Gen. Tex Alles. Not the brightest bulb in the chandelier.
Not sure how he got the job, unless Jim Mattis pulled strings. Biggest ears I’ve ever seen: probably always had to face into the wind whenever he went outdoors.
draining the swamp!
