US President Donald Trump replaced the acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Monday night Jan 30,2017, shortly after he fired the acting attorney general, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed.
Unlike the firing of Acting Attorney General Sally Yates, the replacement of Acting ICE Director Daniel Ragsdale came with no explanation. Ragsdale was replaced by Thomas Homan, ICE's executive associate director of enforcement and removal operations since 2013.
"I am confident that he will continue to serve as a strong, effective leader for the men and women of ICE," John Kelly, the secretary of Homeland Security, said in a brief statement.
