President Trump has dramatically shaken up his Cabinet, announcing on Thursday that he’s replacing Kristi Noem as the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) secretary. Taking her place will be Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.), but Noem isn’t completely out of the picture. According to The Hill, she’s moving into a brand-new role as a special envoy for “The Shield of Americas,” a fresh initiative focused on the Western Hemisphere.
The news hit hard and fast, sparking some really strong reactions. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries responded to the news immediately, posting on X, “Kristi Noem is gone. Pam Bondi is next. Keep the pressure on these extremists.”
