Despite the White House's attempt to kick out McEntee in secret, it's been uncovered that the reason for a hasty forced exit, one that denied him the ability to gather his belongings, was due to being under investigation by DHS for "serious financial crimes."
What kind of financial crime does the Department of Homeland Security investigate?

What kind of financial crime does the Department of Homeland Security investigate?
(CNN)President Donald Trump's longtime personal aide John McEntee was fired because he is currently under investigation by the Department of Homeland Security for serious financial crimes, a source familiar with his firing told CNN.
The charges are not related to the President, the source said.
Minutes after news of his departure broke, the Trump campaign announced McEntee would be joining the reelection effort as a senior adviser for campaign operations.
McEntee escorted from the White House on Monday, three sources with knowledge of the matter told CNN. Two sources said McEntee was pushed out because of issues with his security clearance, making him just the latest aide to be forced out because of difficulties obtaining a full security clearance.
