President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday nominated IBM executive Troy Edgar to serve as deputy Secretary of Homeland Security.
"Troy served for me previously as the Chief Financial Officer and Associate Deputy Under Secretary of Management for Homeland Security, where he did an outstanding job managing their $90 Billion Dollar budget, resourcing critical immigration policy, and funding Wall construction," Trump wrote on Truth Social.
"Troy is currently an executive at IBM. He holds an M.B.A. and B.S. of Business Administration from the University of Southern California. He was previously the Mayor of Los Alamitos, California, where he helped me lead the City and County revolt against Sanctuary Cities in 2018. I am very excited to have Troy on our team, as he will help us Make America Great Again!"
Edgar, a Navy veteran, as chief financial officer for DHS managed a $90 billion budget and oversaw 10 financial divisions spanning program and cost analysis, budget, financial and risk management, financial operations, policy, transformation, Government Accountability Office & Office of Inspector General liaison and workforce development.
