DHS Stats Chief Rips Trump’s ‘War on Immigrants’ in Blistering Resignation Letter
The departure comes as critics say DHS has withheld data needed to assess immigration arrests and removals.
- Marc Rosenblum, executive director of the Office of Homeland Security Statistics, resigned on Sunday, citing the Trump administration's "war on immigrants," "war on feds," and "war on facts" as reasons for his departure.
- Rosenblum served over 10 years at DHS under both Trump administrations and President Joe Biden, managing a team that grew from 11 to 45 people while implementing monthly data processing updates.
- Immigration analysts report that under Trump, the department stopped updating public arrest and detention portals, while the agency's own database showed less than 10,000 of 220,000 detainees were labeled the "worst of the worst."
- His exit follows departures of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and Border Patrol Chief Mike Banks, while former ICE lawyer Ryan Schwank alleged recruits received a "blatantly unlawful order" to enter homes without warrants.
- Civil rights groups have sued to recover data that has virtually disappeared, leaving major gaps in public access to accurate information about mass deportation operations under the administration's stated "war on facts.
