DHS spokeswoman Tricia McLaughlin to leave Trump admin, source confirms
Tricia McLaughlin’s resignation follows criticism after two fatal Minneapolis shootings by immigration officers and amid declining public support for Trump’s immigration enforcement, polling shows 55% disapproval.
- A Trump administration official told CNN that Tricia McLaughlin, DHS assistant secretary for public affairs, is stepping down, with Politico first reporting her plans and her expected to leave next week.
- McLaughlin began planning her departure in December but delayed to manage the aftermath of the Renee Good and Alex Pretti shootings, leaving amid unprecedented turbulence at DHS and a Wall Street Journal report of `constant chaos`.
- As a visible defender of the immigration agenda, McLaughlin frequently appeared across Fox News, CNN, CBS News, NPR, Newsmax and podcasts, logging as many as five media appearances daily while sparring with critics.
- Her exit will leave a communications gap at DHS amid a funding lapse and ongoing negotiations over ICE and CBP reforms, while DHS did not immediately respond about who will take over communications and CNN sought comment.
- McLaughlin is the latest senior DHS official to leave, amid conflicting accounts of shootings and a last week’s poll showing 58 percent say the immigration crackdown has gone too far.
