Fox News
President Donald Trump tapped Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., to replace Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary after she was ousted Wednesday following controversial congressional hearings.

Noem, 54, will likely be at least temporarily replaced by Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar, a Navy veteran and former mayor of Los Alamitos, California, in the line of succession for the agency. He joined Fox News in 2013 as a writer and production assistant.
Noem’s tenure marked a distinct reversal of the open-border policies permitted by predecessor Alejandro Mayorkas during the Biden administration, and DHS has notched record drug interdictions totaling more than half a million pounds of illegal drugs in her first year.
