Donald Trump has fired Kristi Noem as secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, ending her year-long tenure at an agency that is leading his mass deportation efforts and an anti-immigration campaign that has targeted thousands of immigrants and their families.

He has nominated Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace her.

Under Noem, DHS secured a mammoth budget to expand detention centers and rapidly hire federal immigration enforcement officers who are accused of surging into American cities with brutal force and jailing tens of thousands of people into detention camps across the country.

Initial reports of her imminent departure followed two days of combative hearings in Congress, where the now-former secretary faced bipartisan frustration over the fatal shootings of two protesters in Minnesota and her handling of multi-million dollar contracts for an advertising campaign in which she was prominently featured.

Those contracts appeared to be the final straw for the president. Trump said he did not sign off on the $200 million ad campaign one day after Noem testified that the president supported it. “I never knew anything about it,” he told Reuters.

Noem — who is a defendant in countless lawsuits against the administration’s attempts to rapidly arrest, detain and deport tens of thousands of people — is the first Cabinet member to be forced out of the administration since Trump returned to the White House last year.
