Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan is leaving his job, President Donald Trump announced on Twitter.
“We have worked well together with Border Crossings being way down. Kevin now, after many years in Government, wants to spend more time with his family and go to the private sector,†Trump wrote.
“Congratulations Kevin, on a job well done! I will be announcing the new Acting Secretary next week. Many wonderful candidates!â€
His departure is the latest in what several analysts say is a record turnover level for a first-term president. It also highlights Trump’s struggle to keep anyone in the top DHS role as he pursues a hardline immigration policy.
“Kevin now, after many years in Government, wants to spend more time with his family and go to the private sector,†Trump wrote from Air Force One as he headed to his second campaign rally in as many nights.
