Trump Fires Homeland Security Secretary in First Major Cabinet Shakeup

President Donald Trump has dismissed Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. This marks the first time a Cabinet-level official has been removed during Trump's second term. The reasons for Noem's ousting are now public. According to CBS News correspondent Nicole Sganga, the decision followed growing tensions between Noem and the White House. Noem's departure creates immediate uncertainty at the Department of Homeland Security. The agency oversees border security, cybersecurity, and disaster response. A permanent replacement has not yet been named. An acting secretary is expected to lead the department until a new nominee is selected by the President and confirmed by the Senate.
