华盛顿— 总统特朗普周四在Truth Social上宣布，国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆将离职，其职位将由俄克拉荷马州共和党参议员马克韦恩·穆林接任。这一任命宣布之际，国土安全部的支出正受到批评，且国会已允许该部门资金到期失效。
“我很高兴地宣布，来自伟大的俄克拉荷马州的备受尊敬的美国参议员马克韦恩·穆林，将成为美国国土安全部（DHS）部长，自2026年3月31日起生效。”特朗普在Truth Social的帖子中表示。
总统称诺姆“为我们服务出色”，并引用她在边境问题上取得的“非凡成果”。他表示，诺姆将转任“美洲之盾”特别特使，这是政府即将推出的一项新安全倡议。
但诺姆数月来一直备受抨击，尤其是在国会拒绝为国土安全部拨款之后，此前明尼阿波利斯移民打击行动中发生了雷妮·古德和亚历克斯·普雷蒂遇袭身亡事件。
本周早些时候，在参议院作证时，诺姆面临来自民主党和共和党两党的尖锐批评，这可能成为压垮她的最后一根稻草。
特别是，路易斯安那州共和党参议员约翰·肯尼迪质问部长为何将2.2亿美元用于旨在减少非法移民的广告宣传活动。他想知道“你如何平衡对浪费的担忧——我也有这种担忧——与你花费2.2亿美元投放以你为主角的电视广告这一事实？”
他还指出，诺姆“雇佣了一些曾在南达科他州为你做过政治工作的人”。诺姆告诉肯尼迪：“那不是事实。”肯尼迪反驳道：“我认为这是事实。”
肯尼迪接着说：“这让总统陷入非常尴尬的境地：以我对总统的了解，我很难相信你会说‘总统先生，这是我制作的一些广告，我要花2.2亿美元投放它们’，而他会同意。”
“总统事先批准了你花费2.2亿美元在全国投放以你为主角的电视广告？”肯尼迪问她。
诺姆回答：“是的，先生。我们经过了合法流程——做得很正确。”
诺姆表示，她和总统在宣誓就职前就广告投放进行过交谈，之后也有过讨论。但肯尼迪告诉哥伦比亚广播公司新闻，听证会结束后总统给他打电话，称“他的记忆和她的记忆不同”。
特朗普告诉路透社：“我对此一无所知。”
在同一场听证会上，共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯对诺姆说：“诺姆女士，在你的领导下我们看到的是一场灾难，一场灾难。”
蒂利斯称“我们看到无辜的人被拘留，结果却是美国公民”。他引用了“这里形成的文化”，并批评诺姆在明尼阿波利斯古德和普雷蒂枪击事件后使用了“国内恐怖分子”这一标签。
他还提到了国土安全部监察长办公室的一封信，信中列出了10起在诺姆领导下发生的事件，调查人员称他们被误导，无法处理极其重要的事项。

Kristi Noem out as DHS Secretary; Trump announces Sen. Markwayne Mullin as replacement
March 5, 2026 / 2:08 PM EST / CBS News
Washington— Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is out, and will be replaced by GOP Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma, President Trump announced on Truth Social Thursday. The announcement comes amid criticism of DHS spending and as Congress has allowed the department’s funding to lapse.
“I am pleased to announce that the Highly Respected United States Senator from the Great State of Oklahoma, Markwayne Mullin, will become the United States Secretary of Homeland Security (DHS), effective March 31, 2026,” Mr. Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
The president said Noem “has served us well,” citing her “spectacular results” on the border. He said she will be moving to a role as special envoy for The Shield of the Americas, a new security initiative the administration will be unveiling.
But Noem has been under fire for months, especially as Congress refused to fund the Department of Homeland Security after the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti amid the Minneapolis immigration crackdown.
The final straw may come during her testimony before the Senate earlier this week, after she faced sharp criticism not only from Democrats, but also Republicans.
In particular,GOP Sen. John Kennedy of Louisiana questioned the secretary about her decision to spend $220 million on an ad campaign aimed at reducing illegal immigration. He wanted to know “how do you square that concern for waste — which I share — with the fact that you have spent $220 million running television advertisements that feature you prominently?”
And he pointed out that she had hired “people who had formerly done your political work back in South Dakota.” Noem told Kennedy, “That’s not correct,” and he shot back, “I think it is.”
He went on to say that “It puts the president in a terribly awkward spot: It’s just hard for me to believe, knowing the president as I do, that you said, ‘Mr. President, here are some ads I cut and I’m going to spend $220 million running them,’ that he would have agreed to that.”
“The president approved ahead of time you spending $220 million, running TV ads across the country in which you are featured prominently?” Kennedy asked her.
Noem said, “Yes, sir. We went through the legal processes — did it correctly.”
Noem said she and the president had a conversation about running the advertisements before she was sworn in and have talked about it since then. But Kennedy told CBS News that the president called him after the hearing, and said of Mr. Trump and Noem that “his recollection and her recollection are different.”
Mr. Trump told Reuters, “I never knew anything about it.”
At the same hearing, GOP Sen. Thom Tillis told Noem, “What we’ve seen is a disaster under your leadership, Ms. Noem. A disaster.”
Tillis said that “what we’ve seen is innocent people getting detained” who turn out to be American citizens. He cited the “culture that’s been created here,” and he criticized Noem for the “domestic terrorist” label she used after the Good and Pretti shootings in Minneapolis.
He also cited a letter from the DHS Officer of Inspector General with 10 instances under her leadership where investigators said they’ve been misled and unable to pursue critically important matters.
