Chad Wolf Becomes Fifth Person to Head Homeland Security Dept. Under Trump
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Washington, D.C., Chad Wolf was sworn in Wednesday as acting
secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. He's the fifth person
to lead the agency, which oversees U.S. immigration enforcement, under
President Trump. Wolf previously served as chief of staff to
then-Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen as she enforced the Trump
administration's "zero tolerance" policy at the southern border, which
saw thousands of migrant children separated from their parents.
