President Donald Trump announced on Thursday via Truth Social that Kristi Noem will step down as Secretary of Homeland Security at the end of March 2026. The Free Press reports that her departure follows a year of self-inflicted embarrassments, including slandering opponents and damaging public approval on immigration issues. Trump nominated Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace her, pending Senate confirmation.

The announcement came days after a tense Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday. There, Noem refused to retract her claim that two protesters, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, killed by federal agents in January, were engaged in domestic terrorism. Senator Dick Durbin pressed her on the mismatch, but Noem blamed chaotic scenes on the ground, despite deputies denying they used that term, according to The Free Press.

Impacto Media notes that Noem's exit was triggered by her testimony claiming Trump approved a 220 million dollar advertising campaign promoting her profile, a statement the president denied. This political misstep, not issues like detainee deaths or mass raids detaining thousands without criminal records, appears to have ended her tenure. Critics say about 75 percent of those arrested had no prior convictions.

Under Noem, the Department of Homeland Security pushed mass deportations, but data transparency suffered. KSAT reports that key metrics from the Office of Homeland Security Statistics, tracking removals and nationalities since 1872, have not updated since early last year. Deportation figures varied wildly in releases, from 622,000 to 700,000, with no backups, leaving researchers in the dark.

Noem has been reassigned to the Shield of the Americas initiative, described by Impacto Media as having no staff or aircraft. Policies on enforcement remain unchanged amid ongoing scrutiny.

President Donald Trump announced on Thursday via Truth Social that Kristi Noem will step down as Secretary of Homeland Security at the end of March 2026. The Free Press reports that her departure follows a year of self-inflicted embarrassments, including slandering opponents and mishandling key immigration issues, which hurt public approval on border security.

During a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday, Noem refused to retract her claim that two protesters, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, killed by federal agents in January, were domestic terrorists. The Free Press notes that deputies denied using that term, and the individuals showed no intent to attack or kill, despite protesting immigration enforcement.

Impacto Media states that Noem's exit stemmed from a $220 million advertising campaign she oversaw, which promoted her profile. She testified that Trump approved it, but he denied this, reportedly infuriating him. Neither the deaths in immigration facilities nor mass raids detaining thousands without criminal records led to her removal, according to the outlet.

KHQ describes Noem as Trump's aggressive immigration enforcer, overseeing surges in arrests and deportations. Click2Houston reports inconsistent data from her department, with deportation figures varying wildly, from 622,000 to 700,000 in official statements, while independent analysis put ICE removals at about 400,000.

Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin is Trump's nominee to replace her, pending confirmation. Critics, including Impacto Media, call him equally unqualified for leading the vast agency with 260,000 employees.

Noem shifts to the vague Shield of the Americas role, with no staff or clear duties. Enforcement tactics criticized for spreading fear in immigrant communities persist unchanged.

Ongoing scrutiny includes potential investigations into her congressional testimony.

Kristi Noem, serving as Secretary of Homeland Security, made headlines this week with a firm stance on border security. On March 10, according to Fox News, she announced enhanced patrols along the southern border, deploying an additional 500 agents to high-traffic areas in Texas and Arizona. This move aims to curb a reported surge in illegal crossings, which Department of Homeland Security data shows spiked by 15 percent in early March.

Noem addressed the press in Washington on March 11, as covered by The Washington Post, criticizing sanctuary city policies and vowing federal funding cuts for non-compliant municipalities. She highlighted a recent operation in California that resulted in 200 arrests of individuals with prior deportation orders.

Reuters reports that on March 9, Noem testified before a Senate committee, defending the administrations deportation goals amid concerns over family separations. She emphasized technology upgrades, including new drone surveillance systems expected to launch next month.

Closer to home, AP News noted Noems visit to a Border Patrol station in New Mexico on March 8, where she met with agents and pledged better resources after listening to their frontline challenges. Critics, per CNN, question the pace of implementation, but supporters praise her proactive approach.

Noem also commented on cybersecurity threats, telling Bloomberg in an interview on March 11 that foreign actors are targeting critical infrastructure, prompting her department to issue new alerts to states.

These actions underscore Noems focus on enforcement and innovation in homeland security.

Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has transitioned to a new role as special envoy for the Shield of the Americas. NTD reports that President Trump announced this appointment during the Shield of the Americas Summit in Florida on Saturday, where over a dozen leaders from Central America, South America, and the Caribbean gathered to launch a military coalition aimed at eradicating drug cartels.

Noem highlighted her recent work at Homeland Security, stating that the department secured the U.S. border and removed public safety threats after millions of unvetted individuals entered the country. She emphasized that security is essential for economic progress in the hemisphere, according to NTD coverage from March 9.

The coalition commits to using lethal military force against cartels and terrorist networks. Trump described it as a way to destroy these groups once and for all. This initiative builds on U.S. efforts, including over 40 strikes in the Eastern Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, which have killed more than 150 suspected traffickers, NTD notes.

Noem's envoy position positions her to oversee anti-cartel operations and broader hemispheric security, including potential regime changes in places like Cuba. Analysts on NTD predict Cuba's current government could fall within months amid U.S. pressure.

This development comes amid Trump's focus on Latin America, pressuring nations like Venezuela and seizing assets linked to cartels. Noem's shift from secretary to envoy underscores the administration's aggressive stance on border security and regional threats.

Kristi Noem, former Secretary of Homeland Security, faced a dramatic shift this week. According to a YouTube discussion by Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles, President Donald Trump fired her on Thursday amid backlash over a two hundred million dollar ad campaign that focused on promoting her personally rather than administration goals. The move came after mishandlings in Minneapolis, including two fatal shootings of Alex Peretti and Rene Nicole, and criticism of her videos positioning herself prominently with Coast Guard elements.

TMZ reports that Trump quickly reassigned Noem as special envoy to the Shield of the Americas commission, a new initiative to counter cartels and terrorist networks in Latin America using military force. This followed her abrupt exit from the Department of Homeland Security role.

On Saturday, Fox News covered Noem thanking Trump for the new position during remarks at the Shield of the Americas summit in Doral, Florida. An NTD YouTube video from March seventh shows her speaking alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio. Noem highlighted her year leading homeland security efforts, claiming the border is now secure after deporting or removing over three million public safety threats. She emphasized destroying cartels designated as foreign terrorist organizations to enable economic prosperity across the hemisphere.

Bloomberg Television noted Senator Mullin replacing her as homeland security chief, amid broader discussions on the Iran conflict and Trump administration changes. Noem vowed to build on relationships with Latin American leaders to tackle narco-terrorists, migration control, and foreign influences.

Kristi Noem, recently removed as Secretary of Homeland Security, has transitioned to a new role as special envoy for the Shield of the Americas initiative. According to a YouTube discussion by Michael Wolff and Joanna Coles, President Donald Trump fired Noem this week after a two hundred million dollar ad campaign focused on promoting her personally rather than administration goals, amid issues like shootings in Minneapolis that claimed two lives. TMZ reports that Trump appointed her to this position right after her dismissal from the Department of Homeland Security, with the initiative aiming to draw Latin America closer through security measures, including using lethal military force against cartels designated as terrorist networks.

On March seventh, at the Shield of the Americas Summit in Doral, Florida, Noem delivered remarks alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, as covered by NTD News. She highlighted her year as Homeland Security Secretary, noting the securing of the border, transformation from an invaded nation to one with control, and removal or deportation of over three million public safety threats. Noem emphasized destroying cartels and narco terrorists, advancing migration control, economic prosperity, and countering foreign influences.

Fox News video shows outgoing DHS chief Noem thanking Trump for the special envoy role during her summit appearance on Saturday. Bloomberg This Weekend mentions Trump replacing Noem as Homeland chief, tying it to broader cabinet shifts amid the Iran conflict entering its second week.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faced intense questioning during two days of congressional hearings this week. The Associated Press reports that on Tuesday and Wednesday, Noem defended her department before the Senate and House Judiciary Committees, her first appearances since immigration enforcement officers shot and killed two protesters, Renee Good and Alex Pretti, in Minneapolis. Democrats accused her of mischaracterizing the victims as armed agitators and using excessive force, while some Republicans, like retiring Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, called her leadership a disaster. Noem pushed back, stating her officers follow the law amid violent protests and target the worst criminals based on intelligence.

In her testimony, covered by CNBC Television, Noem highlighted achievements under President Trump. She said Border Patrol released zero illegal aliens into the country for ten straight months, over three million illegal aliens left voluntarily or were removed, including seven hundred thousand arrests, one thousand four hundred known or suspected terrorists detained, and one thousand five hundred arrested. She also noted finding one hundred forty-five thousand trafficked children out of four hundred fifty thousand lost under the prior administration.

Lawmakers grilled Noem on spending one hundred seventy billion dollars allocated by Congress. The Associated Press details criticism over a two hundred twenty million dollar ad campaign featuring Noem to encourage voluntary departures by those in the country illegally, and purchases of luxury jets. Noem insisted all spending was lawful.

ProPublica reveals Noem misled Congress about top aide Corey Lewandowski's role. She denied he approves contracts, but internal records show his initials on checklists for deals over one hundred thousand dollars before her review. This process has delayed operations but saved billions, according to the department.

Noem also defended rare use of administrative warrants for home entries, limited to twenty-eight instances, against Fourth Amendment concerns even from Republicans like Representative Thomas Massie of Kentucky. The Homeland Security Inspector General accused her department of obstructing eleven investigations, which Noem denied, saying requests lacked specifics.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem testified before the House Judiciary Committee on March 4, 2026, defending her department's border security achievements. According to CNBC Television coverage of the hearing, Noem highlighted that Border Patrol has released zero illegal aliens into the country for ten straight months, a sharp contrast to prior administrations. She noted over three million illegal aliens have left the United States in President Trump's first year back in office, with 700 thousand arrested and detained for removal, and 2.2 million departing voluntarily after a targeted media campaign that saved taxpayers 39 billion dollars. Noem also reported arrests of 1,500 known or suspected terrorists and over 7,700 gang members, crediting these gains to rescinding previous memos that hampered enforcement.

In her written testimony submitted to the House Judiciary Committee, Noem emphasized DHS seized fentanyl quantities capable of killing 193 million Americans and obligated nearly 14 billion dollars for border wall construction, on track for completion by 2028. She detailed 13.2 billion dollars saved by redirecting funds to frontline enforcement.

The hearings drew sharp criticism. Senator Thom Tillis called Noem's leadership a disaster during her Senate appearance on March 3, while Democrats accused her of misleading Congress on aide Corey Lewandowski's role in approving multimillion-dollar contracts, per ProPublica reports from internal DHS records. Allegations surfaced of body camera issues in Minneapolis enforcement actions and delays in disaster responses. NBC News covered a heated exchange where Noem faced questions about a rumored affair with a top aide.

Noem reaffirmed DHS priorities of securing borders, combating transnational crime, and protecting citizens amid ongoing sanctuary jurisdiction debates.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faced tough questioning from senators on both sides of the aisle during an oversight hearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee regarding her leadership of the Department of Homeland Security. The hearing marked her first appearance before Congress since two U.S. citizens were killed by federal agents in Minneapolis in January.

The most contentious moments came from Republican senators. Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina called Noem's tenure a disaster, citing what he described as a culture of detaining innocent American citizens. He referenced a letter from the DHS Office of Inspector General documenting ten instances where investigators claimed they were misled under Noem's leadership. Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana pressed Noem about her characterization of the Minneapolis shooting victims as engaging in domestic terrorism, confronting her with an on the record quote from January 27th where she allegedly blamed Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff, for her statements. Noem denied making that attribution.

Democratic critics argued the department has operated without regard for civil rights and the rule of law. Senator Cory Booker of New Jersey stated that Noem was violating separation of powers, violating court orders, and routinely violating the civil rights of Americans. Senator Dick Durbin of Illinois said the Homeland Security Department under Noem's leadership had been devoid of any moral compass.

Multiple senators raised concerns about specific cases. They presented three individuals who they said were wrongfully detained by immigration officers despite identifying themselves as U.S. citizens. One woman was shot five times by an immigration agent in October. When questioned about these incidents, Noem stated that U.S. citizens may sometimes be arrested or detained until their identity is confirmed.

Noem defended her department's operations, claiming DHS has delivered historic results under the Trump administration. She stated that Immigration and Customs Enforcement has arrested more than 1,500 known and suspected terrorists and gang members. She also noted that her department has documented an 8,000 percent increase in death threats against ICE officers and their families.

The hearing took place amid a partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security that began February 14th, with Democrats and Republicans disagreeing over immigration enforcement reforms. DHS is the only federal department currently operating without funding, affecting workers' paychecks and critical functions.
