Trump Names Markwayne Mullin to Replace Kristi Noem at DHS

Outlets agree that Trump announced he would nominate Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary. Left-leaning outlets emphasize scrutiny of Noem’s record and controversies at DHS, with some also focusing on Mullin’s record and immigration policy. Center outlets mostly report the personnel change descriptively, adding scrutiny of Noem’s management and testimony and, in some stories, her envoy role or policy implications. Right-leaning outlets often pair the appointment with the administration’s enforcement agenda, while some also link Noem’s exit to scrutiny or reported tension with Trump.
