DHS press sec. Tyler Q. Houlton is leaving his position at the end of the week after nearly 2 years delivering the public message for a department that has been at the center of the Trump admin's focus on immigration and many of its controversial policies
Houlton's last day at DHS is Friday and he is expected to remain in the administration, taking a position as a senior adviser at the State Department. CNN has reached out to the State Department for comment.His departure from the department is the latest in a wave of changes at DHS headquarters, including at top leadership positions, stemming from the forced resignation last month of former Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen.
He joined the department in September 2017, when acting Secretary Elaine Duke was still at the helm, but served most of his time under Nielsen. He was a"trusted adviser" of Nielsen, traveling with her to Guatemala, California and London, among other trips, according to a former DHS official who worked closely with him. During his time at DHS, he managed the department's public response during a number of high-profile security incidents, the midterm elections and hurricane season.
