Kristi Noem speaks in Nashville following announcement of her departure from Homeland Security

President Donald Trump announced that U.S. Sen. Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma will become the next Secretary of Homeland Security, effective March 31, 2026. In a statement posted to Truth Social, Trump said current DHS Secretary Kristi Noem will transition to a new role as Special Envoy for “The Shield of the Americas,” a Western Hemisphere security initiative the administration plans to formally unveil Saturday in Doral, Florida. Deputy Secretary Troy Edgar, a Navy veteran, will replace Noem temporarily. While Mullin will need to be confirmed by the Senate to officially serve in the position, federal law states that he would be allowed to serve as active secretary while his nomination is "formally pending." Mullin's nomination will go through the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. The panel is chaired by Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul, whom Mullin recently criticized as a "freaking snake," in remarks to voters in Tulsa.
