Once the Senate confirms him, he could be moved into Edgar\u2019s role, the officials told Politico. <\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3696\">Trump Gets a Dire Midterm Warning as MAGA Turns Toxic<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Mullin, however, told the outlet in a statement that Edgar was a \u201ckey part\u201d of his DHS team. <\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have the utmost trust and respect in Troy,\u201d he said. \u201cThese unfounded stories and attempts to divide and distract our mission will fail.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>The Daily Beast has also reached out to DHS for comment. <\/p>\n<p>Mullin has been tasked with rehabilitating DHS\u2019s image following public outcry over the department\u2019s violent immigration raids under Noem, which resulted in the killings of American citizens Nicole Renee Good and Alex Pretti, and concerns about financial mismanagement.<\/p>\n<p>He invited many of the former secretary\u2019s critics to return to the department, pushed her allies out the door, and reversed some of her more controversial policies, including one that required the secretary to personally sign off on every purchase above $100,000. <\/p>\n<p>The department, however, sparked renewed outrage this month after immigration agents killed two people in less than a week during enforcement operations aimed at filling deportation quotas. <\/p>\n<p>Federal agents fatally shot Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, 52, a Mexican homebuilder and father of three U.S. citizens, in Houston on July 7. Six days later, agents shot and killed Joan Sebastian Guerrero, a 26-year-old Colombian man, in front of his 3-year-old daughter in Biddeford, Maine.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/nationwideinterstatemovers.com\/?p=3695\">Republican Pollster Trashes Trump\u2019s \u2018Stupid\u2019 Move<\/a><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>Neither man was the target of the operation that ultimately killed them.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/article>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Department of Homeland Security officials are looking for ways to get rid of a deputy ousted by former Secretary Kristi Noem and then brought back into the fold by her successor\u2014only to continue ruffling feathers at the department.
