US EditionTrump Considering Move to Oust Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem: Report
White House frustration with Noem's leadership and adviser Corey Lewandowski's influence may prompt a January replacement by Gov. Glenn Youngkin to reset immigration enforcement.
- On Saturday, The Bulwark reported President Donald Trump is considering moving on from Kristi Noem, Homeland Security Secretary.
- Senior White House aides say they are frustrated with Noem’s leadership and Corey Lewandowski, chief adviser and special government employee, though Lewandowski texted `None of that is true` Thursday.
- Three former DHS officials told The Bulwark that two believe a move against Noem could happen really soon, as she has taken a reduced role in memos and staff describe the department as chaotic.
- Discussions about potential replacements are already underway, with Virginia governor Glenn Youngkin floated as a successor after leaving office in January; Trump may let Noem oversee new enforcement operations planned for January and February.
- Such a shake-up would affect millions of immigrants in the US and signal an aggressive reset of enforcement, including replacing ICE leadership with Border Patrol veterans.
