TRUMP MULLS AXINGHOMELAND SECURITY CHIEF

President Donald Trump has soured on Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen and she is expected to leave her job, according to two people with knowledge of the issue.

Trump has blamed Nielsen for not doing more to address what he has called a crisis at the U.S.-Mexico border, the sources said. Curbing immigration is Trump’s signature issue — and one he returns to as a way to rally his most loyal supporters.

But anyone who takes over at Homeland Security is likely to run up against the same problems that Nielsen faced. The administration has already tried to clamp down at the border but those efforts have been largely thwarted or watered down due to legal challenges.

Nielsen had hoped to complete one year in the job and leave in December.
