A major Trump administration mouthpiece is stepping down amid the latest wave of DHS turmoil and it’s got many people wondering what the agency is going to look like on the other side of this shutdown.

Right, DHS spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin (Mick-loff-lin) is officially resigning as Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs after just over a year serving under Secretary Kristi Noem.
Mick-loff-lin has been a major voice for the Trump administration’s hard-line immigration agenda and one of its most passionate defenders. In fact, she spent much of her time at DHS sparring with critics on social media and making appearances on cable news - like Fox News, CNN, CBS, and NPR. With her describing her work as hostile to her hometown paper last month - saying, “Media is so much of the battle, so to speak, on the immigration issue. So much of the debate is a [public relations] debate. It’s a PR war.”

But it seems she’s been looking to get out for a while now - she was reportedly preparing to leave her position back in December but stayed on after the fallout from the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. But it’s not exactly like that smoothed anything over. A lot of her statements turned out to be skewed at best and outright false at worst. Including her claims that Renee Good committed “an act of domestic terrorism” before she was shot and killed by an ICE agent. And while her unquestioning support of Trump and his immigration crackdown earned her a lot of allies, she also made a ton of enemies.

Right, last month, we saw Trump shower her with praise on Truth Social after she made an appearance on Fox - saying, “Great job by wonderful TRICIA MCLAUGHLIN, DHS Assistant Secretary, on the Sean Hannity Show. Many Illegals from around our Nation charged with serious crimes this week. Tricia really knows her ‘STUFF!’’ And in her statement confirming Mick-loff-lin’s resignation, Kristi Noem said, “Tricia McLaughlin has served with exceptional dedication, tenacity, and professionalism … She has played an instrumental role in advancing our mission to secure the homeland and keep Americans safe.”

But Democrats and immigrant advocates are celebrating Mick-loff-lin stepping down.
With House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries saying, “Another MAGA extremist forced out of DHS. Noem next.”
