Claims circulating online have suggested that US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been dismissed following controversy over federal immigration enforcement activity in Minneapolis. Those claims are inaccurate. Noem remains in office, and there has been no announcement from the White House indicating her removal.
The confusion follows a decision by President Donald Trump to assign Tom Homan, a former senior immigration official, to oversee Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in Minneapolis. The move came after a series of incidents involving federal agents prompted protests, political scrutiny and debate over enforcement tactics in the city.
