Prior to his current job, Wolf was chief of staff to former DHS Sec. Kirstjen Nielsen. He was integral to the then-secretary as she navigated controversial policy decisions, such as the one to separate parents charged with crossing into the country illegally from their children.
Wolf coordinated Nielsen’s schedule, wrote and edited speeches, briefed her for meetings on immigration policy, and traveled with her for appearances on the border and elsewhere.
While Wolf has enforced numerous policies restricting immigration, his tenure was defined by the agency’s actions in Portland, Oregon, this summer, when DHS officers were deployed to the city to protect a federal courthouse during a series of protests.
His tenure ends just a few days after a federal court blasted the Trump administration's repeated argument that his appointment was lawful.
"In effect, the government keeps crashing the same car into a gate, hoping that someday it might break through," wrote the judge.
