I've heard two separate reports ................. she resigned or was fired?  Or, maybe asked to resign or be fired.

And, it ain't over yet:

Washington (CNN) -  White House senior adviser Stephen Miller wants to make sure that outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen is only the first of a string of senior officials headed out the door.Trump administration officials say that Miller, who played key a role in Nielsen's ouster, also wants the President to dismiss the director of United States Citizenship and Immigration Services, Lee Cissna, and the department's general counsel, John Mitnick.

 A senior administration official also said that under the law, DHS Under Secretary of Management Claire Grady, the current acting deputy secretary, is next in line of succession to be acting secretary. That means there are questions as to whether she will need to be fired as well in order to make Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Kevin McAleenan the acting DHS secretary, as Trump tweeted Sunday night.

Miller's heightened influence within the West Wing has been aided by the President, who recently told aides in an Oval Office meeting that Miller was in charge of all immigration and border related issues in the White House, according to a person familiar with the meeting.

She rose the through the ranks during the Bush administration.   Some claim that she was too much of a globalist/GOP-Establishment to fully support this President's more isolationist agenda.
 

To listen to the twenty-something Congresswoman from the Bronx, the former Secretary's only option should be (literally) to fall on her sword aka commit Hari Kari.   The Bronx cheerleader says that Nielsen should never be allowed to have another job.   Who appointed her as judge, jury, and executioner?

Fred has a point. A large part of the current crisis smells of being intentional, or due to incompetence.

And the freshman Congresswoman from the Bronx has no say in nielson's future emplyment prospects, obviously. She is only important because the Foxosphere has breathlessly covered her every utterance to elevate her to status as the new bogeyman, to scare the base into action.
