Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan is out, Trump says in tweet

Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan has resigned after spending six months on the job, according to a tweet Friday night from President Donald Trump.

....Congratulations Kevin, on a job well done! I will be announcing the new Acting Secretary next week. Many wonderful candidates! The person, who spoke on condition of anonymity in order to discuss sensitive personnel issues, said the acting secretary felt he had accomplished two of his top priorities -- reducing the number of undocumented border crossings and identifying"violent white supremacy" as a threat to the nation in a key U.S. strategy document.

Last June, a close Trump ally -- Brandon Judd, head of the National Border Patrol Council -- accused McAleenan of trying to undermine Trump's efforts to curb illegal immigration and insisted he was too liberal to effectively manage immigration enforcement. Shortly after being confirmed as CBP chief, McAleenan helped to enforce Trump's zero-tolerance border policy, which resulted in some 2,600 children being separated from their parents in a matter of weeks so the adults could be detained elsewhere.

These policies have made McAleenan a target on the left. On Monday, progressive protesters prevented him from speaking at Georgetown University's law school, eventually forcing him from the stage.

He was only TEMPORARY until the Right Man could be found - tough pickings in DC... hard to find Honest people with The Swamp so intrenched!

Rats leaving the sinking ship.

He did have to go through Sharpie gate. Could still be traumatized from that.

Another one bites the dust

McAleenan will be replaced by a more 'hardliner' on immigration.

Well oiled machine my ass. 😂😂😂

Probably too weak for the job.

Adios!!

7NY Revolving door dis-administration... Just how many vacancies are there at present? Like a bad game show; The Apprentice White House Trash The Country Edition!

Collapsing Trump Empire

I never seen so many people quit on a president before.

Has nothing to do with Ukraine! Imagine if Obama had this much shit going on? I am no fan of neoliberal Democrats but just imagine the criticism and subliminal racist comments that would be coming out

Wheel in the next victim

Good he seemed to be a man of conscious....
