🚨 Donald Trump Fires Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem 🇺🇸 Donald Trump dismissed Kristi Noem amid controversies including the fatal Minneapolis shootings by federal agents and scrutiny over a $220 million ad contract linked to the department. 👤 Noem, former South Dakota governor, frequently promoted the administration’s strict immigration policies on social media. Markwayne Mullin is nominated as her replacement, pending Senate confirmation. 💰 Lawmakers criticised the advertising campaign featuring Noem, reportedly awarded without standard bidding, and questions arose over her personal conduct and relationships within the department. 🔫 Pressure grew after federal agents fatally shot two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis, sparking public backlash and leading to a scale-back of immigration raids. 🌎 Trump said Noem will serve as an envoy for a Miami summit on Western Hemisphere policy. Mullin, her expected successor, supports strict immigration enforcement. ⚖️ Congressional Democrats, led by Chuck Schumer, maintain that replacing Noem will not resolve ongoing disputes over enforcement tactics and blocked DHS funding. #News
