"Do you still have confidence in DHS Secretary Kristi Noem? I do, Trump said. Look, she was there with the border. Who closed up the border? She did, with [Border Czar] Tom Homan, with the whole group. I mean, they closed up the border. The border is a tremendous success, one of the most secure borders in the entire world."
"Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen, Noem privately said, according to Axios."
"She's doing the job the president wants her to do, an unnamed White House official told Axios."
President Trump gave a public vote of confidence to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem during a Fox News interview, crediting her for securing the border. Noem faces scrutiny after claiming that Alex Pretti, a 37-year-old man shot by Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, committed domestic terrorism. House Democrats have threatened impeachment and some Republicans have criticized Noem's premature response. Axios reported Noem told allies she followed directives from the president and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, and that White House officials indicate her job is safe because she is doing what the president wants.
