Trump Announces Noem's Departure, Picks Mullin for Homeland Security

Outlets on the left, center and right report that President Donald Trump removed Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary and selected Sen. Markwayne Mullin as her intended successor.

Left-leaning outlets emphasize criticism of Noem’s tenure and, in one account, argue her reassignment falls short of accountability. Center outlets pair the personnel change with scrutiny of spending, immigration enforcement and management, mostly in reportorial terms. Right-leaning outlets also link the firing to enforcement and spending scrutiny, while one article focuses on speculation about Noem’s possible Senate primary challenge.
