President Donald Trump has fired Kristi Noem from her position as Department of Homeland Security Secretary. All of this comes after mounting pressure against ICE and the deportation operation that President Trump’s administration has undertaken.
Trump has said that he will nominate Senator Markwayne Mullen from Oklahoma as her replacement on social media. But, that doesn’t mean that Noem is completely out of the game. The administration reassigned for to “Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas.” So, we’re firmly in making stuff up as we go along territory. It could be argued that we’ve been here for a while. Still, the decision to get Noem out of there signals just how vociferous the blowback against ICE has been.
