“Frustrated” White House officials are already pushing for the removal of Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar from the Department of Homeland Security after his return to the agency in April, according to a new report.<\/p>\n

“He has quickly exasperated administration officials who say he inserts himself in issues beyond his purview,” Politico reported Friday, “while not aligning with Mullin\u2019s efforts to move away from a micromanaging leadership style, said three current and three former agency officials.”<\/p>\n

Edgar, who was put on administrative leave during the final months of Kristi Noem’s disastrous tenure, was reinstated months ago under DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin’s watch, Politico reported.<\/p>\n

One department official bluntly said of Edgar, “He wasn’t the right pick to begin with.”<\/p>\n

The primary complaint centers on Edgar’s management style. <\/p>\n

Multiple officials characterize him as a “compulsive micromanager” who routinely inserts himself into matters outside his direct authority. Critics point to instances where Edgar has second-guessed operational decisions by agency heads\u2014including instructing the TSA on staffing deployments while “Mullin has repeatedly emphasized the importance of trusting his agency heads to run their departments.”<\/p>\n

On substantive matters, officials say Edgar demonstrates a concerning lack of expertise, with the report noting two DHS officials pointing out that “Mullin\u2019s team has voiced concern that Edgar is not well informed on certain DHS matters.”<\/p>\n

The complaints highlight a fundamental philosophical clash. <\/p>\n

Mullin has explicitly moved to decentralize authority, reversing Noem’s practice of requiring personal approval for any contract exceeding $100,000. Yet Edgar continues operating with a centralized, command-and-control approach that directly contradicts the secretary’s stated objectives.<\/p>\n

Publicly, Mullin has defended his deputy, releasing a statement to Politico: “Troy Edgar is a key part of my DHS team. I have the utmost trust and respect in Troy. These unfounded stories and attempts to divide and distract our mission will fail.”<\/p>\n
