US EditionTrump says he will replace DHS Secretary Kristi Noem with Sen. Markwayne Mullin
Kristi Noem faced bipartisan criticism over immigration enforcement and a $220 million ad campaign before being replaced by Sen. Markwayne Mullin, pending Senate confirmation.
- On Tuesday, Trump said he would nominate Sen. Markwayne Mullin to serve as acting DHS Secretary while awaiting confirmation, after firing Noem.
- Critics pointed to a contested $220 million ad campaign featuring Noem urging illegal immigrants to leave, and lawmakers scrutinized DHS emergency funding and disaster response.
- Under federal vacancy law, Mullin could serve as acting DHS secretary while his nomination is pending, with Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar temporarily replacing Noem, Mullin said he has `no idea` how quickly the process will move.
- Noem will serve as `Special envoy for The Shield of the Americas`, and she is the first Cabinet secretary to leave during Trump's second term.
- With DHS overseeing agencies like ICE, CBP, and FEMA, critics call for broader reforms, as observers warn replacing the secretary may not change practices, citing concerns over structural issues.
