Trump cuts his losses on Kristi Noem after mounting backlash
President Donald Trump removed Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, replacing her with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin. The move comes after months of criticism for Noem's controversial approach to immigration enforcement, including her participation in field operations and spending on advertising campaigns. The decision was reportedly prompted by a backlash against the administration's immigration crackdown, particularly following the deaths of two US citizens in Minneapolis. Trump has also been reported to have called Republicans in Congress about shaking up his immigration team, with some members supporting the change.
