CBS News reports that Nielsen's possible resignation is just one of several expected in a "a massive DHS overhaul" designed to take the Department of Homeland Security in a "tougher direction," more in line with Trump's campaign rhetoric.
President Donald Trump confirmed Nielsen's departure —and Kevin McAleenan's appointment — on Twitter late Sunday.
"Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen will be leaving her position, and I would like to thank her for her service," Trump tweeted. "am pleased to announce that Kevin McAleenan, the current U.S. Customs and Border Protection Commissioner, will become Acting Secretary for @DHSgov. I have confidence that Kevin will do a great job!"
