President Donald Trump is reportedly considering moving on from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in a staff shakeup that could come in time for the New Year, according to a report.
Two former DHS officials who served under both Trump and former President Joe Biden told The Bulwark that Trump is considering moving on from Noem, with the change potentially coming “really soon.”
A third official cautioned that the current situation is “fluid,” meaning Trump may still let the ex-South Dakota governor lead new enforcement operations planned for January and February, according to the report.
Trump tapped Noem to lead DHS after she dropped off his vice presidential shortlist when she admitted that she once shot and killed her family’s pet dog because it was not easily trainable. She has since gone on to lead Trump’s controversial anti-immigration, mass deportation agenda.
While Trump likes Noem, top White House leaders have grown frustrated with her leadership – specifically her employment of divisive chief advisor Corey Lewandowski, according to the report.
