US President Trump Fires Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem | 10 News

US President Donald Trump has announced he is replacing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after mounting criticism over her leadership of the department and her handling of ICE raids. Trump made the announcement on social media on Thursday, stating Noem "served us well," and will take over a new role called "Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas". Democrat senators on Capitol Hill have reacted to Trump's firing and his nomination for Oklahoma Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace her. Noem then delivered a keynote address to law enforcement leaders in Tennessee, maintaining a surreal public silence even as Trump announced her removal from office moments before her address.
