Wolf and Cuccinelli: Resign from office

Acting DHS Secretary Chad Wolf and Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Deputy Secretary Ken Cuccinelli

A former nurse at ICE’s Irwin County Detention Center is alleging that ICE surgically removed an “inordinate” number of women’s wombs against their will.

This is part of a long pattern of intentional abuses against people of color that ICE and CBP have gotten away with for years. Chad Wolf and Ken Cuccinelli must resign for allowing these abuses to occur under their watch.


On Friday, August 14, the Government Accountability Office said that Chad Wolf, the Acting Secretary of Homeland Security, and Ken Cuccinelli, who has been running U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, were unlawfully serving in those roles.

Wolf and Cuccinelli have done heinous things. They’ve separated countless families, looked the other way as COVID-19 spreads like wildfire in their jails -- killing loved ones and even their own employees -- and refused to release children and families in their custody. They’ve deported children alone without their family's knowledge, hid children in hotels to keep them from accessing due process, blocked asylum seekers from getting work permits, tried to dismantle DACA, and deployed violent Customs and Border Patrol agents against protestors marching for Black lives.

Now, it’s been confirmed that they never had the legal authority to even be in their jobs in the first place.

The Trump Administration must remain accountable to Congress and the people, and Wolf and Cuccinelli must resign.

Sign this petition to demand their immediate resignation.

On Friday, August 14, the Government Accountability Office found that Chad Wolf, Acting Department of Homeland Security Secretary, and Ken Cuccinelli, former Acting Director of USCIS, were serving in those roles unlawfully and therefore have no lawful right to exercise the authority of their offices.

We, the undersigned, demand that Wolf and Cuccinelli resign immediately. They never had the legal authority to hold their jobs, and it is a flagrant violation of the rule of law for them to exercise power in their positions.

Additionally, the latest revelation of ICE detainees receiving hysterectomies without their consent is absolutely disqualifying. Wolf and Cuccinelli must go.
