| New ICE director |
| 2017-02-02 |
| In a statement released Monday, Department of Homeland Security secretary John Kelly announced that Daniel Ragsdale had been replaced with Thomas Horman as acting ICE Director, all without mentioning Ragsdale's name once. While it is not clear what caused the sudden swap, many speculated it was connected to Yates's dismissal and representative of the administration's attempts to appoint people who will best comply with Trump's ban. In a separate statement, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that Ragsdale will now be returning to his former job as deputy director. |

| #3 It's not unusual in business to bring in a new manager to swing the axe and break up the deadwood. That manager then leaves after a short time 1-2 years, and someone else gets to set things up after the massacre. This way the new guy is not tarred with being the bad guy. |

| #1 From the linked article "In a separate statement, the Department of Homeland Security confirmed that Ragsdale will now be returning to his former job as deputy director." Okay I'll admit I'm slightly befuddled, why dismiss Ragsdale and keep him as deputy director of of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement? Wikipedia article on Daniel Ragsdale, I couldn't find a bio on Thomas Horman at this point. (Not enough time to wade through a couple thousand google search results, most of has nothing to do with the ICE acting director. |
