        A DHS spokesman tells me the department has received "no guidance" on who is now the acting secretary of homeland security.

        I don't think they were confused about the order of succession, I'm not sure what you're getting at, and they've issued a statement.

        I'd be VERY surprised if Trump keeps her. She worked under President Obama. Plus, she's a woman.
