Leaders of the Secret Service and Homeland Security have been forced out, while the director of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services could be next.
As Donald Trump continues to oust high-ranking officials in the Department of Homeland Security and other federal agencies, Senate Republicans are growing worried that the president will only make it more difficult for his administration to solve the country’s immigration crisis.
Last Friday, the White House announced that the president was withdrawing his nomination for Ronald Vitiello to run Immigration and Customs Enforcement. Trump’s reasoning for the withdrawal was that he wanted the agency to go in a “tougher direction.” Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Charles Grassley answers reporters' questions during a news conference about Supreme Court nominee Judge Brett Kavanaugh in the Dirksen Senate Office Building on Capitol Hill August 2, 2018 in Washington, D.C. Grassley told The Washington Post that he is"very, very concerned" about the rapid-fire dismissal of several immigration officials.
And even though Trump issued a national emergency declaration earlier this year, sidestepping Congress in order to gain border security funding, little has been done to construct his long-promised border wall.
