Congressman Maxwell Frost Statement on Kristi Noem Firing

March 05, 2026 Congressman Maxwell Frost Statement on Kristi Noem Firing WASHINGTON, D.C. — Today, Congressman Maxwell Alejandro Frost (FL-10) released a statement in response to President Trump’s announcement that Kristi Noem has been fired and that Senator Markwayne Mullin will serve as the new Secretary of Homeland Security. In a statement, Rep. Frost says: “Kristi Noem will go down in history as a bigot who oversaw a DHS that killed American citizens and brutalized immigrant communities. “But her firing doesn’t fix the crisis at DHS. We’re now on day 19 of a shutdown, and Democrats still have serious demands of this administration to reign in an out of control agency. “Replacing her with Markwayne Mullin doesn’t address any of the problems. As Secretary, I can almost guarantee that he will continue the chaos and cruelty. His nomination is unserious and I hope it’s defeated in the Senate.” ### Print Email Share Tweet
