Donald Trump said he is replacing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem with Sen. Markwayne Mullin, whom he plans to nominate for the post. Mullin would need Senate confirmation, though the article says he could serve as acting secretary while his nomination is pending.
Trump announced on social media that Mullin would become Homeland Security secretary effective March 31, 2026, and said he would make Noem a special envoy for a new Western Hemisphere security initiative. Trump praised Mullin and cited his support for border security; the article says the Senate would need to confirm him and that he could serve as acting secretary while his nomination is pending.
The article says Noem’s departure followed criticism of her department’s immigration enforcement tactics, including after two protesters were shot and killed in Minneapolis by immigration enforcement officers, and of the department’s spending. It also reports criticism over emergency funding and the administration’s disaster response.
