The President of the USA, Donald Trump, announced that he will replace Kristi Noem, the head of the Department of Homeland Security, with Republican Senator Markwayne Mullin, starting March 31, 2026. Noem, who led Trump's immigration campaign, will become a special envoy for the initiative "The Shield of the Americas." Trump praised Noem for her dedication and the results achieved, especially in managing the borders.
The decision to replace her comes after a period of controversy and intense scrutiny over how Noem led the department, including following the deaths of two American citizens during federal agency interventions. Recent hearings on Capitol Hill, where Noem stated that Trump approved an advertising campaign in which she appeared, generated tensions, with Trump denying knowledge of it. Markwayne Mullin, an experienced politician and the only Native American in the Senate, is seen as a supporter of the "America First" agenda and will prioritize securing the borders and combating illegal immigration.
