Maybe he is just clearing a path for Pete Gaynor. Wolfe had baggage because of the courts citing the validity of his appointment in some immigration cases. He mentioned that in his resignation letter. Pete Gaynor on the other hand may have a part to play..... Gaynor served in the U.S. Marine Corps for 26 years, retiring with the rank of lieutenant colonel. He was the executive officer responsible for the security of Camp David; was the head of Plans, Policy, and Operations at the Headquarters, Marine Corps, during the September 11 attacks; and deployed with the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force where he coordinated combat operations in Al Anbar Province, Iraq, for multinational and Marine forces.[3] From March 2008 to December 2014, Gaynor was the director of the Providence Emergency Management Agency and Office of Homeland Security. A colleague there describes him as being prepared for anything and respectful of the chain of command because of his military experience.[4] From January 2015 to October 2018, Gaynor was the director of the Rhode Island Emergency Management Agency (RIEMA).[5] During that time, RIEMA responded to numerous small and large disasters, including one presidentially declared disaster and at least seven pre-existing active federal disasters. Gaynor oversaw response and recovery efforts to blizzards, floods, tropical storms and public health emergencies. He also coordinated evacuations, mass care, special events, and school safety.[6]
