Tricia McLaughlin, the combative spokesperson for Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, is leaving her post.
The ardent defender of the Immigration and Customs Enforcement crackdown had planned to resign earlier, but remained on the job in the aftermath of the murder of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, according to Politico.
