President Donald Trump is reportedly considering a move to get rid of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem — and potentially replace her with a soon-to-be former governor.
According to the Bulwark, two unnamed former DHS officials — who served under both Biden and Trump administrations and are still plugged in with current staff say “Trump is indeed considering moving on from Noem” — potentially “really soon.” A third ex-DHS official who also served under Biden and Trump did describe the situation as “fluid.”
Trump, according to the report, personally likes Noem. But the report also states top White House officials have been “frustrated” with her leadership — specifically her employment of chief advisor Corey Lewandowski, who has been characterized with having an “outsized role” at DHS. (Lewandowski denied the report in a statement to the Bulwark, writing “none of that is true.”)
CNN had already flagged Noem weeks earlier as vulnerable to a year‑end purge, citing growing frustration among Trump’s senior aides.

The White House lashed out, calling the reports “total FAKE NEWS” and insisting Noem is “doing a great job”.
