Trump fires Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem

President Trump has fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. The president announced the personnel decision on social media, saying he’ll nominate Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace Noem. Her departure comes two days after she faced tough questioning from Republicans and Democrats during congressional testimony. Noem, who is the first Cabinet secretary to leave during Donald Trump’s second term, has faced waves of criticism as she’s overseen the president’s immigration crackdown, including the shooting deaths of two citizens in Minneapolis.
