Trump says he will replace DHS Secretary Kristi Noem with Sen. Markwayne Mullin
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump wrote on Truth Social that Kristi Noem will leave her DHS post on March 31 and be reassigned as 'Special envoy for The Shield of the Americas,' Mr Trump said.
- Pressure from deaths earlier this year prompted scrutiny of Noem after Renee Good and Alex Pretti were killed, and Congress criticized her leadership during March hearings.
- Confirmed in January 2025, Noem led the 260,000-employee Department of Homeland Security, joining enforcement in New York City and visiting an El Salvador prison holding Venezuelan immigrants.
- The staffing change raises questions about deportation policy as special government employee Corey Lewandowski is expected to leave DHS with Noem later this month, while Mullin can serve as acting secretary on March 31 but needs Senate confirmation.
- Minnesota leaders reacted by demanding a DHS overhaul and impartial investigations into killings and child removals, while partisan responses split over Mullin and Noem's roles.
