Former Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Director Kirstjen Nielsen will be remembered by history as the person who helped Donald Trump put children in cages. Senior White House adviser and vivid white nationalist<\/a> Stephen Miller, however, believes Nielsen was too soft-hearted for the job, and that is why she is updating her resume today. The bloodletting may not be over yet at DHS: Secret Service Director Randolph D. Alles was shown the door on Monday, with no explanation forthcoming<\/a>. By Tuesday morning the word was out: Miller is now fully in charge<\/a> of immigration<\/a> for the Trump administration, and no DHS job is safe.<\/p>\n

After yet another angry meeting with Trump, Nielsen was sacked via Twitter<\/a> on Sunday; she sprinted to post her resignation letter and depart with a splinter of dignity intact after the meeting was concluded, but lost the footrace to the famous fingers of the Tweeter-in-Chief. She will stay on until Wednesday \u201cto assist with an orderly transition,\u201d she said via her own tweet<\/a> \u2014 an interesting choice of words, as any \u201corderly transition\u201d is fully out the window because Trump appears to have illegally named her replacement<\/a> \u2014 but to all intents and purposes, she\u2019s done right now. <\/p>\n

Nielsen and Alles have joined<\/a> Rex Tillerson, Tom Price, David Shulkin, Jeff Sessions, Ryan Zinke, Scott Pruitt and Jim Mattis in the box of broken toys outside the White House gate. As with the others, I doubt Nielsen will miss her erstwhile post very much. According to reports<\/a>, Trump would call her at home in the early hours of the morning to rant about the border. He also berated her in front of colleagues for not being totally enthusiastic about separating children from their families and demanded on multiple occasions<\/a> that she break the law. If I were in her shoes, I\u2019d be tap dancing out the door like Fred Astaire.<\/p>\n
