Kristi Noem: Six Times She Made Headlines, From Luxury Jets to 'Blanketgate'
Kristi Noem departs after a tenure marked by a two-decade high in immigration detention deaths and bipartisan criticism of enforcement methods and spending.
- President Donald Trump announced today that Noem will leave her DHS post and serve as Special envoy for The Shield of the Americas, with Mullin replacing her effective March 31, 2026.
- During her tenure, criticism escalated over enforcement sweeps in Minneapolis, prompting protests and congressional scrutiny, leading to her departure, critics said.
- Reports show that Kristi Noem approved two Gulfstream G700 jets and planned a Boeing 737 for about $70m, while a $220m ad campaign drew scrutiny.
- The staffing change raises questions whether the administration will intensify mass deportations or switch to targeted enforcement, as Corey Lewandowski, former adviser and de-facto chief of staff, also leaves after 'blanketgate' reports.
- After just over a year in the role, Noem's departure raises questions about policy continuity as Stephen Miller continues to control immigration policy, despite leadership changes.
