U.S. Labor Secretary Lori Chavez-Deremer is resigning, according to a Monday announcement by the White House. Her deputy will temporarily fill the role following her departure for a private-sector job.

This resignation marks the third recent exit from President Donald Trump's Cabinet. Previously, Kristi Noem was dismissed as Homeland Security Secretary, and Pam Bondi stepped down as Attorney General. Chavez-Deremer's journey in the role began in March 2025, after a two-year tenure in the House of Representatives.

Moreover, recent months have seen the resignation of several aides, including Chavez-Deremer's chief and deputy chief of staff, during an internal investigation into alleged misconduct within the department.
