President Trump is replacing Kristi Noem as the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin at the end of the month. Noem, who gained attention for her visible role in immigration raids and border enforcement, will become a special envoy for the new "Shield of the Americas" security initiative. Her tenure was marked by controversy, including criticisms for participating in field operations, wearing expensive jewelry during official visits, and spending significant federal funds on advertising and travel. Trump publicly contradicted Noem on Thursday. Mullin's appointment is subject to Senate confirmation.
