Top Trump administration immigration spokesperson is leaving

Tricia McLaughlin, assistant secretary for public affairs at the Department of Homeland Security, is departing the agency after becoming the public face of the Trump administration's immigration policy, defending mass deportations and tactics, according to NPR.
McLaughlin's exit comes as the agency faces a shutdown and scrutiny over the shootings of U.S. citizens Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal immigration officers, with McLaughlin having pushed back her initial December departure plans, says DHS.
McLaughlin will be replaced by her deputy Lauren Bis, while Katie Zacharia will become deputy assistant secretary, as stated by McLaughlin, who praised the team's "historic accomplishments" and vowed to "continue the fight ahead" in a statement.
