Department of Homeland Security Chief of Staff Karen Olick resigned amid the migrant crisis at the southern border and an influx of Afghan refugees to the U.S., Politico reported Monday.
Olick serves as the chief of staff to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and plans to move on from the position at the end of September, according to Politico.
Olick "Has decided to resign her position and pursue new opportunities," Mayorkas said, Politico reported.
SCOOP: Karen Olick, chief of staff to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, abruptly announced on Monday she was resigning and leaving for a new, undisclosed opportunity.
The DHS has struggled to manage the increasing number of migrants arriving at the southern border, according to Politico.
"Though too often underappreciated by our fellow citizens, I am continually struck by how many millions of Americans sleep in safety every night because so many at DHS do not sleep," Olick said in a farewell email, Politico reported.
Olick worked as a prominent official at a Democratic strategic communications firm before her position at the DHS, according to Politico.
