"I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026. The current Secretary, Kristi Noem, who has served us well, and has had numerous and spectacular results (especially on the Border!), will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere."
"Kristi Noem, along with U.S. Trade representative Jamieson Greer, who you all know and you deal with. You deal very successfully. I ask Jamieson all the time, can you get more? Can you get? He's the king of tariffs, right? But he's very gentle. We want to be very gentle with our friends, right, Jamieson?"
President Trump announced the replacement of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem with U.S. Senator Markwayne Mullin from Oklahoma, effective March 31, 2026. Noem's tenure included controversial incidents involving DHS deportation operations, various scandals, and contentious congressional hearings. Rather than a complete dismissal, Trump reassigned Noem to serve as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, a new Western Hemisphere security initiative announced at Trump's Doral golf club. Hours after the announcement, Noem appeared at the Shield of the Americas event on Saturday morning, where Trump briefly acknowledged her among other administration officials during his remarks.
