Homeland Security Deputy Secretary John Tien on Tuesday announced his retirement from the agency, making him the latest top Biden official to leave the administration.

"I thank Secretary Alejandro N. Mayorkas for having the confidence in me to support my nomination to President Biden and even more so, to empower and enable me to 'co-lead' the Department with him," Tien told Homeland Security employees.

Tien had served 24 years in the U.S. Army before he retired in 2011. He worked for the Obama administration and became the deputy secretary of Homeland Security in June 2021.
