Top DHS official resigns in protest over Trump's 'war on immigrants'

Marc Rosenblum, executive director of the Office of Homeland Security Statistics, resigned after a decade at DHS, citing the Trump administration's 'brazen corruption' and 'war on immigrants.' In a LinkedIn post, Rosenblum also referenced a 'war on feds,' a 'war on facts,' and 'the crazy war in Iran.' He had spearheaded efforts to publish immigration arrest and deportation data, but DHS stopped releasing that data after the administration launched sweeping deportation efforts, gutting transparency. Rosenblum described a 'challenging and often hostile work environment' and said he would take a month off before seeking a role aligned with his values and those of 'most other Americans.'
