Trump Announces Markwayne Mullin as Noem’s DHS Replacement

Outlets agree that Trump announced Markwayne Mullin would replace Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary, with Noem moving to a special envoy role. Center outlets link the change to criticism of Noem’s testimony about a DHS advertising campaign. Right-leaning outlets emphasize the appointment and the administration’s border-security rationale; some also frame continued opposition to DHS funding as a national-security risk.
