Trump Removes Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Secretary, Names Mullin Successor

President Trump removed Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary and announced plans for Sen. Markwayne Mullin to succeed her. Noem is slated for a special envoy role. Left-leaning outlets present the change as replacing one unqualified official with another, criticizing Noem’s tenure and Mullin’s fitness. Center outlets mostly report a personnel transition amid scrutiny of Noem’s testimony and spending, while also covering reactions to her firing and whether enforcement plans will change. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Noem’s role in stopping crossings and Trump’s praise for Mullin.
