Trump's acting DHS head admits he's lost command and authority at his department
Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan is trying to distance himself from the Trump administration’s immigration rhetoric despite implementing some of the president’s policies at the border, according to an interview published Tuesday.
The acting DHS chief helped devise the original zero-tolerance policy that led to thousands of separated families at the Mexican border, but McAleenan said the policy was “well intended” because he thought it would stop smuggling networks from bringing children on dangerous trips across the border. He now says the policy was miscalculated.
McAleenan has been acting DHS secretary for about six months now after Kirstjen Nielsen’s firing, working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement , Customs and Border Protection , and Citizenship and Immigration Services . Before that, he led CBP and was tasked with implementing the zero-tolerance policy that ended after nationwide backlash.
But despite having the job for six months and pleasing the administration with reduced border arrest numbers, President Donald Trump still has not nominated McAleenan as secretary.
