The DHS Secretary Steps Down

Another high-ranking secretary has stepped down, this time it is the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. @Vudaaa stepped down at midnight Eastern Daylight Time on Sunday July 12 2026. He cited reasons not related to the server for why he decided to leave.

Vudaaa stated “My health/irl life needs my full attention”. “It really hurts to make this decision but it's something I must do.” He also wrote in the # government-announcement page “The DHS is a department that needs an active and strong leader, and I simply cannot fulfil that as of right now.” He stated multiple times that he was sorry and he told his colleagues to stay strong.

He was elected to be leader on 6/21/2026, resigning just 17 days after he was chosen to be the secretary. He joined the DHS around 7 months ago in December 2025 and climbed the ranks from Recruit to deputy secretary and eventually secretary. He also worked in the Department of Health in January 2026 and became an Epidemiologist. He wrote in his message to the oversight that he wanted to add more officers and more intensive training to the DHS. It’s a real shame that he didn’t get to execute many of those plans. The only broadcast he sent to the discord after getting elected was letting players know about the consented killing command. He also owned SageStudioSup that happened to make block palates.

It is very sad that he resigned, Vudaaa looked like he would help improve the DHS especially after the jaronwave. For now, the Government is looking for a new DHS director so if you qualify submit an Expression of Interest form (EOI) please apply! That’s all we have for today, thank you for reading the Redmont Record and we hope you tune in tomorrow for a special interview with a newly elected representative!
