McLaughlin served with exceptional dedication and professionalism, playing an instrumental role in advancing homeland security and keeping Americans safe. Her forceful defense of immigration enforcement spotlighted the deportation of violent criminal illegal immigrants. The departure was amicable after a demanding tenure defending critical national security policies.
McLaughlin's departure follows revelations that her husband landed a $220 million no-bid DHS contract while she shamelessly lied to defend the administration. She lies reflexively, and when caught lying, she lies more. Her exit comes amid mounting chaos at DHS, including the fatal shootings of two U.S. citizens and widespread criticism of the department's response.
