Outgoing Secret Service Director Alles says he was not fired from his job, adding that he was told weeks ago that 'transitions in leadership should be expected across the Department of Homeland Security.' More:

WASHINGTON - President Donald Trump is removing the director of the U.S. Secret Service, the agency that provides protection for him and other top U.S. officials, the White House said on Monday, a day after the ouster of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said James Murray, a career Secret Service agent, would take over the Secret Service in May. Alles had run the agency for two years and served in the U.S. Marine Corps for 35 years before retiring as a major general in 2011. Chuck Schumer, the top Democrat in the Senate, called for Alles to testify before Congress “as soon as possible about the potential security vulnerabilities at Mar-a-Lago ... and other counterintelligence and national security threats.”“We are dealing with a humanitarian and security crisis at the border because Congress failed to act,” said Ron Johnson, the chairman of the Senate Homeland Security Committee.

The first sign of Trump’s overhaul of Homeland Security came late on Thursday, when he abruptly pulled his nomination of Ron Vitiello as director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, part of DHS.The Republican president, seeking re-election in 2020, has taken a hard line on immigration since taking office in January 2017, and he has said he will make border security a central theme in next year’s race.

Smaller ears needed as Secret Service Director

seems appropriate.

That's so SAD he didn't know he WAS FIRED.

I'm sure if he keeps his ear to the ground he'll find something in no time.

Dude that's the nice way of saying you're fired!

That's what being fired is.

Dude has the biggest ear I have ever seen.

With the kind of hears he has, I must agreed he listened when Told weeks ago! Also I must agreed he must have heard YOU ARE FIRED clearly too!

That means fired.

Hmmm so the WhiteHouse has had this in the works weeks ago so why the need for an interim director- with no names floated for a permanent appointment? Such liars or shall we start calling them malingerers. realDonaldTrump have to google that one.

With the kind of hears he has, I must agreed he listened when Told weeks ago!

Not surprised he was picked for the secret service, there's fuck all getting past those radars 😂😂

MrAyeDee Watchful eyes and listening EARS.

Yes 'YOU'RE FIRED' his boss likes that!

Alles’ firing so soon after the Mar-a-Lamebrain breach is publicized is purely coincidental, right? “...Normally tight-lipped Secret Service was so disturbed by the breach that it issued an unusual statement...”

Is that what they told him to say?

I’m sure he heard the message loud and clear

I’m not one to comment on people’s appearance, but that dude has some satellite dishes for ears.

GUESS Director Alles dealing with this the BEST WAY he knows HOW!

Potato, potaato

jesus christ is this image photoshopped

They're going to miss his fun-loving, happy demeanor in the White House, I can tell.

MAYDAY !

So he's officially turning DHS into the Gestapo now.

Isn’t transitions in leadership a nicer way of saying fired?!

HUM? GONE is GONE?

He looks like he was fired and told he has to pay for his own leaving do.
