Trump fires US homeland security secretary
US President Donald Trump fired Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem on Thursday after months of controversy, including the fatal shootings of two US citizens by federal officers in Minneapolis and lawmakers’ questions over a $220 million advertising contract, Reuters writes.
Trump will tap Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace her by the end of the month, he said on his Truth Social platform on Thursday. The appointment would require US Senate confirmation.
Noem was known on social media for her tough posts about immigrants, which made her one of the most prominent members of Trump’s administration.
