6 march 2026 в 00:13
Kristi Noem was appointed by Donald Trump as Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) following his victory in the 2024 elections. Since taking office, Noem, 54, has implemented controversial measures to tighten the Republican president’s immigration policy at the U.S.-Mexico border. However, Noem’s leadership at DHS has faced sharp criticism, and after her appearance before the House Judiciary Committee this week, rumors began circulating online about her possible dismissal. So, was Noem really fired by Trump?
Here’s what Trump decided regarding Noem’s future at DHS.
Yes, Trump announced on Thursday, March 5, that Noem would be replaced and would transition to a new position in the government.
«The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well and achieved many impressive results (especially at the border!), will be appointed as the Special Envoy for the ‘Shield of America' initiative, our new security project in the Western Hemisphere, which we will announce on Saturday in Doral, Florida», - Trump wrote in his post on Truth Social, adding, «I thank Kristi for her service in ‘Homeland Security.'»
Trump also announced that Senator Markwayne Mullin would replace Noem as Secretary of DHS.
«I am pleased to announce that the highly respected U.S. Senator from the great state of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), starting March 31, 2026», - Trump wrote. «Having served 10 years in the U.S. House of Representatives and 3 years in the Senate, Markwayne has wonderfully represented the great people of Oklahoma, where I won in all 77 counties—in 2016, 2020, and 2024!»
Trump went on to describe Mullin as a «MAGA warrior», - noting that the senator is a «former undefeated professional MMA fighter» and that «Markwayne truly gets along well with people and possesses the wisdom and courage needed to advance our ‘America First' agenda».
«As the only Native American in the Senate, Markwayne is a great advocate for our incredible tribal communities», - Trump continued. «Markwayne will tirelessly work to secure our border, stop migrant crime, murderers, and other criminals from illegally entering our country, put an end to the scourge of illegal drugs, and make America safe again. Markwayne will be an outstanding Secretary of Homeland Security. Thank you for your attention to this matter!»
