Acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan's top aide and spokesperson is resigning amid frustration in the White House over the Department of Homeland Security's handling of major policy rollouts and White House distrust of McAleenan and his inner circle, sources familiar with his resignation tell Axios.

I believe his aide resigned. I, of course, have never been wrong.

their initial report, which I was watching, said it was McAleenan.

Sometimes rambunctious or argumentative
sometimes sympathetic and helpful
we are united in our desire to make things better.
