The future of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appears to be in the balance, as recent reports suggest the former South Dakota governor could be replaced as President Donald Trump seeks to accelerate his mass deportation policies.
Speculation grew earlier this month when The Bulwark reported that three unnamed former DHS officials said high-ranking Trump administration aides are considering a leadership change. The report noted Noem's influence over department memos has decreased and a replacement could be named "very soon."
