The top State Department official charged with overseeing refugee issues is stepping down.

Simon Henshaw, the acting assistant secretary for the department's Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, announced in an email to colleagues on Saturday that he planned to leave his post in the coming days.

The email was reported by Reuters. Henshaw said he will remain at the State Department in a different capacity.

10. Great way to get a purge without a purge

Create and environment that is hostile or policies that are indefensible and get people who were appointed by previous Presidents to quit and let you put your guys in there without the overt actions of dismissing someone.
