DHS deputy head Elaine Duke to leave Trump administration - The Hill

“Elaine Duke, the No. 2 official at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), is stepping down from her post in the Trump administration.
Duke, the agency's deputy secretary who played a key role at the helm of DHS last year, is set to leave in April, Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen announced Friday afternoon.

President Trump nominated her for the No. 2 position at DHS in January 2017, and she formally took office in April. She later would serve for several months at the helm of DHS as acting secretary after Trump tapped then-DHS Secretary John Kelly as his new White House chief of staff. Duke served in the post until Nielsen was confirmed in December

Duke also reportedly faced pressure from Kelly, who urged her in November to deport thousands of Hondurans residing in the U.S. after DHS extended temporary protected status for the residents.
According to a Washington Post report, that episode angered Duke, who refused to reverse the decision to extend the residency permits.”



I don’t know guys, I smell trouble. An open spot for Trump to nominate an anti-immigration cook.
No bueno.

we thought Kelly was gonna change Trump but instead Trump changed Kelly. lmao

Residency permits?... you mean TPS?

I hope tps wont be an obstacle for daca legislation

Lmao, yea TPS is the an actual obstacle. I'm sure that's one of the reasons the Senate and House couldn't hash anything out last week.

I don't think so, it was mostly "chain migration" that was the key.

He was being sarcastic.

Is this good, bad or whatever?

Depends on her replacement.
