Sen. John Fetterman urged President Donald Trump to fire Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after an anti-ICE protester was shot dead in Minneapolis. Trump had already sent Tom Homan to oversee the operation and shifted Noem’s focus to the southern border.
Fetterman appealed to Trump to dismiss Noem, saying Americans had died and accusing her of betraying the Department of Homeland Security’s mission. He also warned Trump not to repeat President Joe Biden’s decision not to fire a DHS secretary he considered incompetent. The article describes Fetterman as a strong ICE supporter and recounts his criticism of Noem following the Minneapolis shooting.
The article reports that Trump questioned Noem about her handling of the shooting, sent border czar Tom Homan to Minnesota, and redirected Noem toward securing the southern border. It also describes congressional investigations and oversight plans, and says Fetterman’s wife, Gisele Barreto Fetterman, criticized the immigration crackdown as “cruel and un-American.”
