Claire Grady’s resignation comes amid a Trump administration shakeup in recent days which has seen several top officials ousted from their roles.
Outgoing Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstejen Nielsen on Tuesday announced the resignation of acting Deputy Secretary Claire Grady, two days after posting her own resignation letter to Twitter.
In a subsequent post, Nielsen complimented Grady’s performance in the White House. “Her sound leadership and effective oversight have impacted every DHS office and employee and made us stronger as a Department. Claire has had a remarkable career in public service - 28 years at the Departments of Homeland Security & Defense - that is coming to a close,” she wrote.
— Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen April 9, 2019Nielsen, who announced her resignation on Twitter Sunday, also said she will stay on as DHS secretary through Wednesday to “assist with an orderly transition and ensure that key DHS missions are not impacted.” Various news outlets have reported that White House senior adviser Stephen Miller, who Trump recently empowered to lead his administration in implementing harsher border policies, was behind the sudden personnel changes within the DHS.
