Tim Perry out as chief of staff at ICE
 [WASHINGTONTIMES] Timothy Perry is out as chief of staff at ICE amid questions over the deportation agency’s plummeting arrest numbers.U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement confirmed his departure but did not give a reason for the sudden change. One law enforcement source said Mr. Perry was ousted by Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over concern about ICE’s enforcement numbers, which show a serious deterioration in the agency’s operations over the last year. ICE spokeswoman Nicole Peckumn said Mr. Perry was no longer working at the agency, but she didn’t address the arrest numbers nor Mr. Mayorkas’ role in Mr. Perry’s departure. "Tim Perry decided to depart the agency to pursue a new opportunity. We are grateful to Tim for his contributions over the past year and wish him well," she said in a statement. It’s not clear what that opportunity was. A LinkedIn page that appears to belong to Mr. Perry now describes him as a "consultant." An email to Mr. Perry’s account over the holiday weekend bounced back with news of his departure, but his name still appeared on the agency’s leadership web page Monday. It was changed by Tuesday afternoon. Posted by: Fred 2022-01-20 |
