The 360 | Homeland Security shakeup: What's next?
Speed ReadWhat’s happening: A clutch of senior Department of Homeland Security officials left their posts in recent days amid an apparent shakeup.
Nielsen quit after the White House withdrew the nomination of longtime border official Ron Vitiello to lead the U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement agency. Trump cited a desire to go “in a tougher direction.” Ralph Alles, the head of the U.S. Secret Service, left his position on Monday. And Claire Grady, the acting No. 2 at DHS, also resigned.
The departure of Nielsen — considered a hardliner herself for overseeing the administration’s controversial family separation policy — has led to a concern that Miller’s policy views have become ascendent. Trump had reportedly raged at Nielsen for her refusal to close the border after his repeated threats to do so.
