Trump Is preparing to fire Kristi Noem

SUMMARY

President Trump is considering firing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. He has asked aides for potential replacements following her contentious Senate Judiciary Committee hearing, which revealed bipartisan discontent with her leadership.

Noem's $200 million ad campaign, where she promoted self-deportation for illegal immigrants, has frustrated Trump, particularly after she claimed he approved it—something he denied.

While Trump is prone to changing his mind on personnel matters, he has indicated he does not want decisions swayed by external pressures.

Neither the White House nor the Department of Homeland Security commented on the situation.
