And by reassigned, they mean demoted.

The White House blamed Lafferty, who has led the asylum division for the past six years, for an inability to toughen asylum standards, according to one current DHS official.

[...]

[BuzzFeed News] reported in July that Lafferty criticized the Trump administration’s chaotic approach to policymaking in an email to staffers.

"We are once again being asked to adapt and to do so with very little time to train and prepare," he wrote. "If I didn't know that we have some of the most dedicated, most adaptable and most talented public servants presently serving in the federal government I would be concerned about being able to implement these changes on such short notice."

The decision comes as President Donald Trump proceeds with a sweeping overhaul of the asylum system, which offers protection for people who face persecution in their home countries.

Trump and his top officials have argued that many asylum seekers don’t have valid claims and use the benefit to remain in the U.S. and work legally. The administration has plowed ahead with a range of policies to limit access to asylum, including the “remain in Mexico” initiative, which forces certain non-Mexico asylum seekers to stay in that country while they await rulings on their cases.

A federal judge in San Francisco blocked the third-country asylum ban nationwide in July, but the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals limited the injunction several weeks later to its jurisdiction in California and Arizona. That allowed the policy to be put into place in New Mexico and Texas.

In the new role, Lafferty will help oversee 700 agency staff and 200 contractors processing permanent resident applications and international student work permits, according to the email.

He will be replaced in an acting capacity by Andrew Davidson, currently the deputy associate director for the agency’s fraud detection and national security directorate.

Yet another "acting" official in a leading position.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
