The departure of Jonathan Fahey is the latest in a long line of resignations at ICE during the Trump administration. The agency, which has come under mounting public scrutiny for controversial policies throughout Trump’s term, has now seen six leaders come and go since 2017.
At the same time, Fahey’s resignation is symbolic of a Department of Homeland Security that has been under constant upheaval since President Donald Trump took office.
Chad Wolf introduced Fahey in an email to ICE on Dec. 31, saying he was confident ICE’s new leader “will serve ICE with the same level of commitment and professionalism displayed during his distinguished career as a criminal prosecutor.”
As of Jan. 13, both men had resigned.

One ICE official told me: "We haven’t been bothering to learn the names of the political appointees for months now, anticipating that they will all be short-term."

Btw, still no email to ICE employees on the resignation. Many found out through this story.
