Sheriff David Clarke says he is taking a job as an assistant secretary in the Department of Homeland Security, but a lot of people are not happy about his new gig.

Juliette Kayyem, who used to serve in the same role under President Obama, said she is “floored” and “feel[s]” for her former staff members.
