WASHINGTON, DC – Today, U.S. Representative Angie Craig released the following statement on President Trump’s announcement that he will be replacing DHS Secretary Kristi Noem with Senator Markwayne Mullin.
“Kristi Noem was unqualified from the start, and she reminded Minnesotans of that fact every single day she served as Secretary of Homeland Security. Under her leadership, ICE terrorized our state and got two Minnesotans killed. That’s why I led articles of impeachment against her in the House and have repeatedly called for her resignation.
“While this is welcome news, we should all be clear that President Trump is firing Noem because she made him look bad, not because he believes her tactics were wrong.
“Minnesotans know we are not out of the woods yet and we can’t afford another rubber stamp for Trump’s immigration agenda leading DHS. And even though we’ve seen that loyalty is a one-way street for this president, that’s exactly what Markwayne Mullin will be.
“I’m urging Senate Democrats not to support Mullin’s nomination or give a cent to Trump’s DHS until his administration agrees to rein in ICE and start following the law.”
