Secret Service director ousted in rolling housecleaning at DHS
WASHINGTON – The Trump administration is removing Secret Service Director Randolph"Tex" Alles from his post as part of a broad leadership housecleaning at the Department of Homeland Security, a senior official said Monday.
Alles, who took office less than two years ago as the service was emerging from a series of White House security breaches and incidents of misconduct, was informed two weeks ago of the move by the White House, said the official who is not authorized to comment publicly. The abrupt removal was disclosed in the wake of the resignation of Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen. President Donald Trump also rescinded his nomination of Ron Vitiello to head U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, saying he wanted to go in a"tougher" direction.
The official said that Alles' decision was not related to last week's arrest of a Chinese national who penetrated security checkpoints at Trump's Mar-a-Lago resort in Florida, carrying a cache of electronics that included a malware-infected thumb drive.
