Excerpt:

Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is expected to offer her resignation at a meeting at the White House on Sunday, U.S. officials familiar with the matter say. Nielsen was set to meet with President Trump at 5 p.m., the officials said.

Nielsen's expected departure is a part of a massive DHS overhaul engineered and directed by top Trump adviser Stephen Miller, according to a senior U.S. official. It's unclear whether Nielsen is deciding to resign voluntarily, or whether she has been pressured to resign.

POTUS has confirmed this in a tweet .... and Kevin McAleenan, the current U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner, will become Acting Secretary.

   Hopefully, he'll give Omarosa another chance to redeem herself.

[Axeslinger]

It “Seems” like the over/under for any cabinet appointee with this administration  is about 6 months.

[Right_in_Virginia]

I'm almost relieved for her.  This past month or so Nielsen's sounded more and more overwhelmed.   I wish her well.

[Fishrrman]

Thanks for your service, but we need someone in that position who's a hard-a@@ insofar as illegals are concerned.

No soothing talk, no compromises with the enemy (the democrat-communists).

Seal the border and do whatever can be done to return the invaders!

[Applewood]

The revolving door  continues to spin.  And you all notice how many secretaries are "acting?"  Why?

Yes, it is on TV she is gone.  Good for her, she can have a life now.  If the next one doesn't stop people coming across the border, he/she will be gone, too.

I agreed with Dobbs last week when he was literally screaming about Nielsen's inaction.

Let's hope the new guy gets things down that don't require Congress to act.

Ann Coulter celebrates Kirstjen Nielsen's resignation: 'Hallelujah!'

by Daniel Chaitin

Conservative commentator Ann Coulter celebrated the resignation of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen on Sunday.

In a torrent of tweets, Coulter also ribbed President Trump, whom she supported during the 2016 campaign for his tough stance on immigration but more recently has become one of his most vocal critics for his struggle with building a border wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

"Hallelujah! Secretary Nielsen has resigned!" Coulter tweeted. "Good news: Secretary Nielsen has resigned! Bad news: Trump considering Jorge Ramos as replacement," Coulter said in another, referring to Univision's Jorge Ramos, a Mexican-American journalist who has been highly critical of Trump's immigration policies.
 
"CORRECTION: There will be no replacement for Nielsen. Homeland Security will be rolled in Jared's portfolio along with Middle East Peace, De-Imprisonment, Re-Organize Government and American Innovation," Coulter said in another tweet, referring to Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner.
