President Donald Trump on Thursday announced he was replacing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem with Republican Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin, effective March 31, citing weeks of bipartisan criticism over her leadership following immigration agents' killing of two U.S. citizens and reports of her personal relationship with a top deputy. Noem will become special envoy for the "Shield of the Americas," while Democrats called her departure overdue but said policy changes were also necessary.
