In case you missed it, Homeland Security secretary Kirstjen Nielsen resigned from her role on Sunday.
Nielsen, who found herself heckled and had protests outside her home during her tenure, also didn't receive the warmest of farewells from The Late Show's Steven Colbert.
"I believe she's leaving to spend more time separating her family," he quipped.
The late show host tore into the resignation, which perhaps stems from Trump's reported displeasure at the increase in crossings on the southwestern border.
"Sure, she puts kids in cages, but Trump was upset because Nielsen hasn’t enacted stricter immigration rules," Colbert added. "So, he just needs someone who can be crueler to children then Kirstjen Nielsen. Get ready for secretary of Homeland Security Pennywise. And of course, she will be taking his place."
Finally, Colbert also has a set of mock farewell cards for Nielsen, and boy, they don't hold back.
