Mayorkas FIRES 32 members of his advisory council
- [Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News] Mayorkas announced the shock move to 'reconstitute' the Homeland Security Advisory Council in a letter to the 32 ousted members Friday
- He said their place on the council had ended effective immediately as he will set up a new panel in weeks
- The DHS said it is aiming to create a council, which was mainly white men, that better reflects US diversity
- Just three members have been kept on following the drastic purge: Chairman William Bratton, Vice Chair Karen Tandy and Chair Emeritus William Webster
- All Trump-era appointees are gone including Ken Cuccinelli, a supporter of his hardline immigration policies
- It marks an unprecedented move with former DHS officials saying never before have they known such a blanket overhaul to the council to occur
- Ex-DHS boss Chad Wolf blasted it as 'not the right approach' while Rep. John Katko said it shows a dismissal of a 'bipartisan' approach
- It comes as the Biden administration is under fire for the migrant crisis and thousands continue to make the journey from Guatemala into Mexico and north to the US each day
