在前特别特使职务于上月到期后，前国土安全部长克里斯蒂·诺姆已悄然转入国务院新岗位。
今年早些时候，唐纳德·特朗普总统在其执掌国土安全部期间遭遇多起争议后，将她从内阁中解职。随后诺姆加入国务院，担任“美洲之盾”特别特使，专注于西半球安全事务——这与她此前的内阁职位截然不同。
一位了解相关情况的国务院官员告诉CNN，在新岗位上，她将继续负责类似事务。
“克里斯蒂·诺姆的特使职务已于上月到期，她不再担任该职位，”该官员表示，“她现在担任兰多副国务卿的高级顾问，继续负责‘美洲之盾’相关事务。”
一位知情人士透露，这位前国土安全部长在担任特别特使期间，原本就向兰多汇报工作。
这位前国土安全部长周五在X平台发布的一份声明中表示，该特别特使职位“原本就是为期六个月的任命”。
上月在联合国大会期间举行的一场“美洲之盾”会议上，特朗普称赞诺姆称：“我要感谢克里斯蒂·诺姆出色完成了工作。”同样，特朗普在诺姆担任国土安全部长期间也经常公开表扬她。
但在内部，她所在的部门仍面临白宫的巨大压力，要求其落实总统的移民执法优先事项。正如CNN此前援引官员消息报道的那样，该机构激进且有时略显随意的执法方式加剧了部门内部的紧张关系。
她于3月被解职，此前诺姆曾向议员表示，特朗普批准了其部门斥巨资开展的一场突出展示她本人的广告宣传活动。
据路易斯安那州共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪透露，特朗普“当时非常愤怒”。肯尼迪曾就特朗普是否参与该活动向诺姆提问，当天晚些时候就接到了总统的电话。
特朗普告诉NBC新闻，他对该宣传活动毫不知情，并补充说他“对此并不满意”。
多位消息人士当时告诉CNN，听证会结束两天后，特朗普致电诺姆，告知她自己已决定将其解职。诺姆当时正驱车前往纳什维尔的一场活动途中，得知了这一决定。
总统还随即宣布，将任命当时的俄克拉荷马州参议员马克韦恩·马伦接替她的职位。
在加入第二届特朗普政府之前，诺姆曾担任南达科他州州长，并树立了特朗普忠实盟友的形象。
她是最早在特朗普2024年总统竞选前公开背书的州长之一，也曾一度被视为副总统候选人的顶级人选，后来最终落选短名单。

Former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has quietly moved into a new role at the State Department after her special envoy status expired last month.
President Donald Trump fired her from his Cabinet earlier this year after multiple controversies while she ran the Department of Homeland Security. Noem then joined the State Department as a special envoy for “The Shield of the Americas,” focusing on the security of the Western Hemisphere — a much different position from her previous Cabinet role.
In her new role, she will continue working on similar matters, a State Department official with the matter told CNN.
“Kristi Noem’s envoy status expired last month and she is no longer in the role,” the official said. “She is now a Senior Advisor to Deputy Secretary Landau and continues to work on the Shield of the Americas portfolio.”
Noem had previously reported to Landau in her role as special envoy, a source familiar said.
The former DHS secretary said Friday in a statement posted on X that the special envoy role “was always a six-month appointment.”
During a Shield of Americas meeting last month at the United Nations General Assembly, Trump praised Noem, saying, “I want to thank Kristi Noem for doing a really terrific job.” Similarly, Trump often publicly praised Noem during her tenure as Homeland Security secretary.
But internally, her agency still faced tremendous pressure from the White House to deliver on the president’s immigration-enforcement priorities. As CNN has previously reported, citing officials, the agency’s aggressive — and at times, haphazard — approach fueled tensions within the department.
Her ouster in March came after Noem told lawmakers that Trump approved of her agency’s lavish spending on an advertising campaign that prominently showcased her.
Trump “was pissed,” according to Louisiana GOP Sen. John Kennedy, who asked Noem about Trump’s involvement and got a call from the president later that day.
Trump told NBC News that he didn’t know about the campaign and added that he “wasn’t thrilled with it.”
Within two days of the hearing, Trump called Noem to let her know that he has decided to fire her, sources told CNN at the time. She learned of the president’s decision as she was arriving at an event in Nashville.
The president also immediately announced that he was selecting then-Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma to replace her.
Before joining the second Trump administration, Noem served as the governor of South Dakota and had established herself as a Trump loyalist.
She was one of the earliest governors to endorse Trump ahead of his 2024 run for president, and was once considered a top potential running mate before eventually falling off the shortlist.
