Steve Bannon is urging President Donald Trump to replace Homeland Security Secretary , accusing him of straying from the administration's mass-deportation agenda after Mullin called for expanded permanent work visas and broader immigration reform.

He said Trump should instead appoint Bill Pulte, the outgoing acting director of national intelligence, whom Bannon described as "Pitbull" Pulte.
