"The Department of Homeland Security's top spokesperson is leaving the Trump administration, two government officials confirmed Tuesday, a departure that comes amid falling public approval ratings for the president's mass deportation agenda. Tricia McLaughlin, whose regular Fox News appearances elevated her into a face of the administration's hard-line immigration agenda, is leaving just over a year into Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem's tenure leading the agency."
"The move comes after DHS and the White House have scrambled to tamp down public outrage over the killings of two U.S. citizens by federal immigration agents in Minneapolis last month. McLaughlin informed colleagues Tuesday of her departure. She had begun planning to leave in December but extended her stay to help the administration deal with the fallout of the fatal shootings of Renée Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, according to people briefed on her exit."
The Department of Homeland Security's top spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin, is departing the Trump administration amid falling public approval for the president's mass deportation agenda. McLaughlin became a prominent face of the administration's hard-line immigration stance through regular Fox News appearances and served just over a year under Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem. The departure followed efforts by DHS and the White House to tamp down public outrage after federal immigration agents killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis. McLaughlin informed colleagues of her exit, had planned to leave in December but extended her stay to help manage the fallout, and posted on X to dispute a report of tensions over Coast Guard resource use.
