BREAKING: Donald Trump Moves to Remove Kristi Noem, Nominates Markwayne Mullin as Successor
President Donald Trump has announced that he plans to remove Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem from her post and nominate U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.
The announcement marks a significant potential leadership change within the department responsible for overseeing national security operations, border enforcement, immigration policy, and disaster response. Trump stated that he intends to replace Noem with Mullin as part of a shift in leadership direction within the agency.
If formally nominated, Mullin would need to go through the Senate confirmation process before officially assuming the role. As a sitting senator from Oklahoma, Mullin has been an outspoken supporter of stronger border security policies and has frequently aligned with Trump on immigration and national security issues.
Kristi Noem, who previously served as governor of South Dakota before joining the administration, has played a key role in shaping the department’s recent policy initiatives. The administration has not yet released additional details about the timing of her departure or who may serve as interim secretary during the transition.
Further information is expected as the nomination process unfolds and the administration clarifies the timeline for the leadership change.
