Trump Names Markwayne Mullin to Replace Kristi Noem at DHS

Trump announced he would nominate Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary and said Noem would take a special envoy role. Left-leaning outlets foreground controversies during Noem’s tenure and criticism of Mullin, with one arguing her reassignment is not enough for accountability. Center outlets connect Noem’s departure to hearing criticism, examine Mullin’s background, or describe an effort to reduce controversy at DHS. Right-leaning outlets focus on Mullin’s selection and Noem’s new role, while also citing the administration’s border-security rationale and reported tensions over her testimony.
