Democrats worry Trump will replace Nielsen with an immigration hard liner

about 5 years in Roll Call

Democratic lawmakers are concerned Donald Trump will replace outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen with an immigration hardliner, but the White House has yet to clearly explain what the president wants her successor to do differently.
Nielsen’s coming departure will only complicate the Senate calendar, adding another senior administration position that the chamber might have to process in coming weeks or months. Senators on the relevant oversight panels will be taken away from other work, such as annual spending bills, to focus on grilling nominees.
