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, leading to her replacement by Senator Markwayne Mullin pending Senate confirmation.
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump fired Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and said he will nominate Senator Markwayne Mullin, effective March 31, 2026, Trump wrote on Truth Social.
- Pressure built following congressional hearings this week, where lawmakers questioned Noem about a $220 million government ad campaign and her removal followed criticism after two U.S. citizens died in Minneapolis, prompting the move.
- Noem's tenure included aggressive enforcement in Los Angeles, Chicago and Washington, D.C., while deaths in immigration detention rose to a two-decade high and the White House denied her claim that the president approved the ad campaign.
- Trump said he will nominate Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace Kristi Noem, who will serve as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas; Mullin can serve as acting secretary during the U.S. Senate confirmation process.
- Mullin's background— including his Tribal ties and congressional service— makes him a 'MAGA Warrior' who could influence DHS policy on deportations, Trump said.
