From the Wall Street Journal, former SDGOP Executive Director Madison Sheahan is reported to be headed to a senior role in ICE:
The acting director of U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, Caleb Vitello, was removed from his post, administration officials and other people familiar with the matter said, amid frustration in the Trump administration that deportations haven’t accelerated faster.
The administration is shaking up the leadership at ICE and is soon expected to announce a new acting director, one of the administration officials said.
and…
Officials are expected to hire Madison Sheahan, the Louisiana Secretary for Wildlife and Fisheries, in a senior role at ICE, people familiar with the matter said. It is unclear who the next director of the agency would be. A spokeswoman for Sheahan declined to comment.
I guess that explains why she was at Noem’s hearings.
And also why Madison was next to Kristi at her press breifing in Louisiana.
Good on the young lady.
For some more context, Madison worked for the 2016 Trump campaign in a different state, where she met Noem. Noem then hired her, and she worked for Noem’s races and I believe also in her administration. It is no surprise Noem wants her back on her team. She has many of the same qualities as Noem, I am sure she will excel at ICE.
