Tricia McLaughlin’s Sudden Exit

Tricia McLaughlin, the face of Trump’s deportation campaign, is stepping down after just over a year. It’s not like she had a choice, given the administration’s penchant for chewing through staff like they’re going out of style. McLaughlin’s departure comes during Homeland Security Secretary Kristi L. Noem’s tenure, which hasn’t exactly been a walk in the park.

A Year of Chaos

McLaughlin’s time at the department was marked by controversy, particularly when it came to the administration’s hardline stance on immigration. It’s no secret that Trump’s policies have been a hot mess, and McLaughlin was often the one tasked with spinning them into something palatable. Don’t expect her to be out of a job for long, though – she’s got a reputation for being able to put a positive spin on just about anything.
