Trump announces change at Homeland Security: Nielsen Fired, CBP boss McAleenan in #MAGAFirstNews with @PeterBoykin NIELSEN OUT AT HOMELAND SECURITY: President Trump announced Sunday that Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen "will be leaving her position" after 16 months in the job. Nielsen tweeted Sunday evening that she had submitted her resignation. ... The president said that U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Commissioner Kevin McAleenan will replace Nielsen as acting secretary, tweeting, "I have confidence that Kevin will do a great job!" Nielsen met with Trump at the White House Sunday amid an ongoing influx of migrants at the U.S.-Mexico border that has been taxing America's immigration system and sparking frustration within the administration. The Associated Press, citing two sources, reported that Nielsen had been frustrated with the difficulty of getting other departments to help deal with the growing number of families crossing the southwestern border. -- Kevin McAleenan, new acting DHS boss, has long record in border security -- Former acting ICE Director Tom Homan: Trump made the right move picking McAleenan for DHS DEMS POUNCE AFTER CHANGE AT DHS: Democrats – particularly those eyeing the White House in 2020 -- were quick to respond Sunday after President Trump announced the resignation of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen, and the appointment of Customs and Border Protection chief Kevin McAleenan as acting head of DHS. ... “About time,” Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., tweeted, adding that in her view, Nielsen’s “legacy of tearing innocent families apart will follow her for the rest of her life — and she should be ashamed of the role she played. She was completely unqualified to lead @DHS — and that's why I voted against confirming her.” Sen. Kamala Harris, D-Calif., wrote that, “Kirstjen Nielsen misled the American people and defended Trump's inhumane policy of separating children from their parents. It was long past time for her to go.” -- Ex-Dem staffer admits doxxing five GOP senators during Kavanaugh hearings -- Romney blasts House Democrats' 'moronic' maneuvers to try getting Trump tax returns
