"Secretary Noem has been a failure since she took office, and her termination has been a long time coming. She oversaw abusive immigration raids that killed American citizens, misused hundreds of millions of dollars on her glam campaign, was responsible for countless violations of the Constitution, and more."
"Noem recently faced intense questioning by the committee for alleged misconduct at her agency, including corrupt financial dealings and widespread brutality and civil rights violations by federal immigration agents overseen by DHS (including the killing of queer Minneapolitan mother of three Renee Good)."
President Trump terminated Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday, citing frustration with her poor headlines and performance during congressional questioning. Noem faced intense scrutiny from the House Committee on Oversight and Accountability regarding alleged misconduct, including corrupt financial dealings, civil rights violations by immigration agents, and misuse of approximately $220 million on a national television ad campaign featuring herself. Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia, the ranking member on the oversight committee, celebrated her firing, stating she oversaw abusive immigration raids, constitutional violations, and misused federal funds. Trump will replace Noem with anti-LGBTQ+ Senator Markwayne Mullin. Noem will assume a new position as "Envoy for The Shield of the Americas," described as a western hemisphere security initiative.
