Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin is earning rave reviews two months into his tenure, with a Republican lawmaker hailing a “sea of change” at the department following the departure of Kristi Noem.
Noem was removed from DHS by President Donald Trump in March after a little over a year in charge. Her chaotic stewardship of the administration’s illegal immigration crackdown, which led to the deaths of two Americans in Minneapolis, and controversies over her spending drew outrage. When she was removed from the role, Mullin was quickly named as her replacement.
