DHS Secretary Kristi Noem Departs, Replaced by Markwayne Mullin

US Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has left her position. According to reports, President Trump announced the change.

Noem’s departure comes as part of a series of personnel shifts within the administration. Trump has reportedly chosen Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace Noem at DHS.

Details on the circumstances surrounding Noem’s departure are not yet clear. However, it is reported that she was not fired but rather moved out of her position.

Trump has stated that he did not sign off on an ad campaign featuring Noem, which sparked controversy earlier this year.

Mullin will assume the role of DHS Secretary, taking over from Noem. The exact terms of his appointment have not been disclosed.

No further information is available at this time regarding the reasons behind Noem’s departure or the implications for the administration.
