President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to dismiss Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen after becoming impatient and frustrated with her approach to immigration.
The Washington Post reports she could be out as soon as this week as five current former and current White House officials claim her departure is to happen within the next few weeks.
Trump is said to have this weekend told advisers of his plan to get rid of her as Nielsen's one-year job anniversary of December 6 approaches.

Nielsen (pictured in San Diego March during a tour of border wall prototypes) allegedly has not been enjoying the job within the last few months
The news came after he canceled their trip to visit troops at the border in South Texas.
Now it's alleged the American leader wants someone with a more aggressive attitude to curtailing immigration but with no deputy secretary since April, Nielsen's responsibilities could land in Claire M. Grady's lap.
If not the undersecretary for management, Trump is reportedly considering Kevin McAleenan, the commissioner of US Customs and Border Protection and David P. Pekoske.

Nielsen delivered an enthusiastic speech at the opening of his wall in Calexico, California recently. She also defended Trump's decision to separate families at the border
But the Homeland Security secretary could be fired in next few weeks according to aides
Both have been confirmed by the Senate and Pekoske is the administrator of the Transportation Security Administration and used to be a vice commandant of the Coast Guard.
The Post also reports Kris Kobach, who lost out on the Kansas governor role, could be nominated however the secretary of state may be considered too extreme for Senate approval.
After the position was created in 2003 following the September 11 terrorist attacks and George W. Bush had two over six years during his terms.
Barack Obama had two across his eight years as president and Trump is already on his second as he nears two years as POTUS.
'If I were advising the White House, I'd encourage them to nominate someone with executive branch experience,' an anonymous senior DHS official said. 'This will be our fourth secretary in two years. The last thing we want is someone who needs hand-holding.'
Chief of Staff John F. Kelly has been fighting to keep her (pictured October 2017) after pushing for her to get the role. However staff members are reportedly not keen on his praise for her

A source claimed Nielsen – who used to work on disaster management response for the White House under Bush – is referred to as a 'Bushie' by Trump.
He reportedly claims she's too loyal to the former president despite her defending Trump's stance on separating families at the border. He then ended the operation days later.
Nielsen also delivered an enthusiastic speech at the opening of his wall in Calexico, California recently.
Still, Trump is said to have blamed her for a rebound in the number of people arrested at the Mexican border this year.
Insiders claim that Trump berating her in Cabinet meetings and belittling her to staff has made Nielsen want to quit the role but Madame Secretary is reluctant to before having done a year.

The Post reports that while she feels that way Chief of Staff John F. Kelly has been fighting to keep her.
He supposedly wants to delay the removal of Nielsen, White House colleagues have become annoyed at his constant and possibly unjustified praising of her despite her lack of experience in the field.
Kelly pushed for her to be confirmed in the role and three aides added that his own job hangs in the balance.
A DHS spokesperson declined to comment on the speculation the The Post.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
