Careeredit
Alles held positions in both the Marine Corps and joint combatant commands. He is a veteran of Operation Iraqi Freedom, commanding Marine Aircraft Group 11[4] and 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing.[5] He retired as a major general.[6]
Alles retired from the Marine Corps in 2011,[7] after 35 years of military service,[6][7][8] and joined U.S. Customs and Border Protection the following year. During his time with CBP, he served as the Deputy Executive Assistant Commissioner for Air and Marine Operations (AMO) until he was appointed Executive Assistant Commissioner for AMO in early 2013 until being appointed as acting Executive Assistant Commissioner of CBP's Enterprise Services in October 2016 before ultimately being appointed as Deputy Commissioner of CBP in January 2017.[5][9]
On April 25, 2017, President Donald Trump appointed Alles as Director of the U.S. Secret Service.[5][6][7][8] On April 8, 2019, CNN reported that Trump was preparing to remove Alles from office.[10] Later that day, the White House confirmed Alles would be leaving at the end of April. Trump had reportedly grown disgruntled with Alles, and allegedly referred to him as "Dumbo".[11]
In May 2019, Alles was appointed to perform the duties of Deputy Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Management, while Chip Fulghum served as Acting Under Secretary.[12] In July 2019, Alles succeeded Furghum to become the Deputy Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Management and Acting Under Secretary of Homeland Security for Management.[13] By November 2019, his acting status was removed, and was instead conferred the title of Senior Official Performing the Duties of the Under Secretary.[14] He served under this title until he was once again made the Acting Under Secretary under the incoming Biden administration.[15]
