According to The Washington Post, Trump is ready to inform his advisers of this decision and has begun looking for a replacement.
Starting a few months ago, the US president expressed dissatisfaction with Nielsen's immigration policy and wanted to replace her with someone who could implement his ideas on this issue.
Moreover, Trump has reprimanded her in cabinet meetings and downplayed her role compared to other White House officials.
According to Nielsen's colleagues, she had been unhappy with her job for several months but did not want to quit until December 6, exactly one year after taking office.
More than 50 members of the Trump administration have been fired or have resigned since the US president took office in January 2017, according to CNN.
