DHS sees leadership shakeup amid ICE operation leaks, low deportation numbers

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem announced Sunday that DHS will see changes in two of its top leadership positions. Todd Lyons will now serve as acting director of ICE, while Madison Sheahan will be named DHS’ deputy director.

The leadership shakeup comes amid reports that DHS and FBI personnel are leaking information about ICE operations, as well as frustration within the White House about its low deportation numbers.

Noem also said the agency will expand its use of lie detector tests for employees, in an effort to identify and root out those behind the leaks.
