BREAKING: Kevin McAleenan Out!

Trump fires his acting Homeland Security chief Kevin McAleenan after six months on the job.

The acting Homeland Security secretary Kevin McAleenan is out. He was fired out the cannon and of course, the idiot Donald J. Trump tweeted on social media.

Kevin McAleenan has done an outstanding job as Acting Secretary of Homeland Security. We have worked well together with Border Crossings being way down. Kevin now, after many years in Government, wants to spend more time with his family and go to the private sector....

Trump in his sarcastic fashion tweeted a "job well done."

He said that someone will replace McAleenan in the coming week. He was in charge of the Department of Homeland Security for only six months.

McAleenan walked out of an immigration conference in Washington, DC on Monday after he was trolled and heckled by protesters.

He was supposed to be a keynote speaker at the conference. He was met with protesters who yelled directly at him, "When immigrants are under attack, what do we do? Stand up, fight back!"

I want to thank the President for the opportunity to serve alongside the men and women of the Department of Homeland Security. With his support, over the last 6 months, we have made tremendous progress mitigating the border security and humanitarian crisis we faced this year... pic.twitter.com/A4rTcZgJKF

McAleenan in a tweet thanked Trump for the “opportunity to serve alongside the men and women of the Department of Homeland Security.”

"I want to thank the President for the opportunity to serve alongside the men and women of the Department of Homeland Security. With his support, over the last 6 months, we have made tremendous progress mitigating the border security and humanitarian crisis we faced this year...," his tweet said.

Protesters yelled the statement multiple times before McAleenan had a chance to speak at the podium. McAleenan said he would like to discuss the challenges the agency has faced over the past year with the immigration crisis, “above the politics and the daily news cycle.” But after persistent shouts, McAleenan walked off the stage without delivering his speech.

The Department of Homeland Security said in a statement: "Unfortunately the Acting Secretary and the audience did not get the opportunity to engage in a robust dialogue this morning due to the disruptions of a few activists."

A Washington Post article said McAleenan had grown "isolated and frustrated" even as “he guided the United States out of the crisis at the southern border.”

"What I don't have control over is the tone, the message, the public face and approach of the department in an increasingly polarized time,” McAleenan said in an interview with The Washington Post on Oct. 1. "That's uncomfortable, as the accountable, senior figure."
