"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 we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida."
"She just wrapped up a whole press conference in which she appeared not to know she had been uhhhhh not-fired from DHS. Nobody told her."
Kristi Noem was not fired from her position as Department of Homeland Security Secretary despite facing congressional criticism over multiple serious issues including agents killing American citizens, her making false statements about those victims, federal contract corruption, and inappropriate relationships with Trump associates. Instead, President Trump reassigned her to a newly created position as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, described as a Western Hemisphere security initiative. The reassignment was announced via Trump's social network, citing her border security accomplishments. Notably, Noem appeared unaware of her reassignment during a subsequent press conference, suggesting she had not been informed of the change.
