Noem exits; Trump selects Mullin as DHS secretary
President Donald Trump announced on Thursday that he would appoint Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) as the next Homeland Security Secretary, while moving current DHS chief Kristi Noem to a special envoy position focused on Western Hemisphere cooperation due to mounting frustrations with her leadership.
In a Truth Social post, Trump said Noem “has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!).” Trump added Noem will become a special envoy for the “our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday” at a summit with Latin American leaders on Saturday in Florida, News.Az reports, citing foreign media.
“I thank Kristi for her service at “Homeland,” he continued.
