(Ryan DeLarme) Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary Chad Wolf has announced that he will be stepping down. This comes on the heels of President Trump declaring that “an emergency exists in the District of Columbia”.

Wolf sent a letter to DHS employees Monday afternoon informing them of his decision.
“I am saddened to take this step, as it was my intention to serve the Department until the end of this Administration,” Wolf wrote. “Unfortunately this action is warranted by recent events, including the ongoing and meritless court rulings regarding the validity of my authority as Acting Secretary.”

Wolf went on to say that Pete Gaynor, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) administrator, will become the acting secretary of DHS.
“Be proud of what we have accomplished,” Wolf told DHS employees, “The Homeland is safer and more secure because of your efforts.”
So, who is this Pete Gaynor character?
Well, all we know for sure is that he is an American Certified Emergency Manager who is the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA). He was appointed as Acting Administrator by President Donald Trump on March 8, 2019, and became Administrator on January 16, 2020.
This is all happening as resident Donald J. Trump declares that an emergency exists in the District of Columbia and ordered Federal assistance to supplement the District’s response efforts due to the emergency conditions resulting from the 59th Presidential Inauguration from January 11 to January 24, 2021.
It’s all interesting timing, to say the least.
