Trump fires Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem

President Donald Trump has fired his embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem. Trump said he was nominating Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin for the position in an announcement on social media on Thursday. The announcement came after Noem faced a two-day grilling on Capitol Hill from Republicans and Democrats and as Noem faced mounting criticism over her leadership of the Department of Homeland Security. Trump says he’ll make Noem a “Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas.” Noem touted her achievements on social media and thanked Trump for the new role.

Man Feds Killed in #Minneapolis Was an #Observer, Eyewitness Says

The killing marked the second fatal shooting by federal agents in the city in less than a month. Neither victim appeared to be the target of immigration enforcement.

"The man federal agents fatally shot in Minneapolis Saturday did not appear to be a target of immigration enforcement, according to two eyewitnesses who spoke with The Intercept. One of the witnesses said the man appeared to be acting as a #civilianobserver.

"Minneapolis Police Chief Brian O’Hara said at a press conference Saturday that the victim was a 37-year-old resident of Minneapolis and is believed to be a #UScitizen. The Minnesota Star Tribune identified him as #AlexJeffreyPretti.

"According to the paper and a public records database accessed by The Intercept, Pretti had a #Nursing license issued in 2021.

"The shooting came just weeks after an Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer shot and killed Renee Good and a day after hundreds of thousands of people braved subzero temperatures to march in Minneapolis against weeks of rolling immigration-enforcement raids by ICE, Border Patrol, and other federal agencies.

"A video of the incident, which surfaced on Reddit just before 10 a.m. Central Time, shows a number of apparent federal agents in tactical gear wrestling with a person on the ground and striking them multiple times before a shot rings out. As many of the agents scatter from the person, at least nine more shots ring out and the person slumps to the ground.

"A spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security confirmed the shooting and claimed that the man was carrying a handgun, attaching a photo of a Sig Sauer weapon. The Intercept has not been able to independently verify the Department’s claims. [AND CAN WE BELIEVE ANYTHING FROM THE #DepartmentOfHomelandInsecurity?!!]

"Minnesota allows open carrying of firearms by people with valid permits. O’Hara said Saturday that the victim’s only known law enforcement interactions were over traffic tickets, 'and we believe he is a lawful gun owner with a permit to carry.' "

#Noem Denies Use of Chemical Agents in #Minnesota, Then Backtracks

#KristiNoem, the homeland security secretary, said officers had not used pepper spray and similar measures limited by a judge’s order, then was confronted with a video that showed chemical agents deployed.

By Minho Kim, Reporting from Washington, Jan. 18, 2026

"Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, denied in a televised interview on Sunday that her department had used pepper spray and similar tactics curtailed by a judicial order issued last week, then backtracked and blamed protesters after being confronted with a video of federal agents deploying such measures against crowds in Minnesota.

" 'That federal order was a little ridiculous, because that federal judge came down and told us we couldn’t do what we already aren’t doing,' Ms. Noem said on CBS’s 'Face the Nation.'

"But after being pressed on a video that backed up the accounts provided to the court, she changed course. Protesters were to blame for the use of force, she said, adding that federal officers 'only use those chemical agents when there’s violence happening and perpetuating.' [BULLSHIT!]

"The ruling on Friday by Judge Kate M. Menendez of the Federal District Court in Minnesota said that chemical agents had been used against protesters on at least four separate occasions and called the evidence of their use 'uncontroverted.' "

How #KristiNoem turned #ICE into the #ProudBoys

Footage shows the #RightWing group’s founder developing the “recruit giant losers” strategy

By Amanda Marcotte, January 16, 2026

Excerpt: "From the beginning, #GavinMcInnes understood that he could access a large, untapped resource that is America’s loser population. Before Johnny-come-latelies like Elon Musk started assembling mediocre white men who are low on intelligence and high on resentment, McInnes was reeling them in with a steady patter of assurances that he had the secret to restore them to level of social status and respect the modern era had supposedly stolen from them. On his show, he portrayed both women and people of color as imbeciles who cannot handle equality or freedom. He claimed to hold the key to restoring masculinity to his viewers, mostly through bigotry, beer and violence. In retrospect, as ICE agents in Minneapolis have taken to kidnapping, beating and even shooting people on the streets, what really stands out is how much effort McInnes put into creating elaborate justifications for right-wing violence."

"A U.S. citizen on her way to a medical appointment in Minneapolis was dragged out of her car and detained by immigration officers, according to a statement released by the woman on Thursday, after a video of her arrest drew millions of views on social media.

"Aliya Rahman said she was brought to a detention center where she was denied medical care and lost consciousness. The Department of Homeland Security said she was an agitator who was obstructing #ICE agents conducting arrests in the area.

"That video is the latest in a deluge of online content that documents an intensifying #immigrationCrackdown across the midwestern city, as thousands of federal agents execute arrests amid protests in what local officials have likened to a 'federal invasion.' "

"The president of Oglala Sioux Tribe in South Dakota on Tuesday called for the immediate release of tribal members who were detained at a homeless encampment by Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents in Minnesota last week.

"Three of the four Oglala Sioux Tribe members who were arrested in Minneapolis on Friday have been transferred to an ICE facility at #FortSnelling, President #FrankStarComesOut said in a statement released with a memorandum sent to federal immigration authorities.

" 'The Oglala Sioux Tribe’s memorandum makes clear that ‘tribal citizens are not aliens’ and are ‘categorically outside immigration jurisdiction,' Star Comes Out said. 'Enrolled tribal members are citizens of the United States by statute and citizens of the Oglala Sioux Nation by treaty.'

"Details about the circumstances that led to their detention were unclear.

"In the memorandum sent to Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, Star Comes Out said the when tribal nation reached out to the agency it was provided with only the first names of the men. Homeland Security refused to release more information, unless the tribe 'entered into an immigration agreement with ICE.' "
