Chad Wolf has been the acting Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security since November. The President announced his appointment on Twitter, praising his performance. However, a government watchdog report found that both Wolf and his deputy, Ken Cuccinelli, were unlawfully appointed as they had not been confirmed by the Senate. The report also stated that they are not legally qualified for their roles due to non-compliance with federal rules. The DHS dismissed the report as baseless. Wolf's confirmation prospects are uncertain, with a limited timeframe before the upcoming election.
