Department of Homeland Security Chief of Staff Karen Olick resigns as department grapples with migrant crisis at southern border and an influx of 100K Afghan refugees
|
[Daily Mail, Where America Gets Its News]  Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas' chief of staff has submitted her resignation, as DHS works to tackle a migrant crisis at the southern border and a sudden influx of tens of thousands of Afghan refugees.
Karen Olick announced Monday she would be leaving for an undisclosed opportunity, according to Politico.
Jennifer Higgins, the current associate director of Refugee, Asylum and International Operations at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, will step in as temporary chief of staff after Olick leaves at the end of the month.
Mayorkas told DHS officials in an email Olick 'has decided to resign her position and pursue new opportunities. We are grateful to Karen for her service during the critical first nine months of the new Administration.'
DHS is in the midst of not only helping to vet tens of thousands of Afghan refugees who were evacuated out of Kabul last month and handling an unprecedented flow of migrants colonists at the southern border but also taking the lead on responding to the impacts of Hurricane Ida.
