President Trump announced Thursday that he's replacing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem with Oklahoma Sen. Markwayne Mullin, effective March 31, after bipartisan criticism over reimbursement delays for Hurricane Helene recovery. Noem, who endured sharp questioning from Rep. Deborah Ross and Sen. Thom Tillis, will become Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas; critics highlighted her policy of personally approving large expenditures, which slowed grants despite over $3 billion in FEMA commitments since Trump took office. Additional aid flowed after the hearings, but local counties struggled with upfront costs. Mullin now awaits Senate confirmation as recovery and immigration priorities loom.
