They questioned the statement she made after immigration agents shot and killed two U.S.
citizens in Minneapolis.
And they pushed her on the slow rollout of disaster relief funds.
Some lawmakers also zeroed in on an ad campaign her department ran starring her.
You cross the border illegally, we'll find you.
Break our laws, we'll punish you.
One of the ads featured the secretary on horseback in front of Mount Rushmore.
Republican Senator John Kennedy of Louisiana described the campaign as wasteful, and he grilled Noem on a ProPublica report about just how much the department spent on the ads.
My colleague Hamed Ali Aziz is on today's episode of The Daily, explaining how Noem gained and then lost the president's trust.
In a statement on social media, President Trump said he's giving Noem a new job that's just been created, Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas, which he said would be a new security initiative.
He plans to replace her at DHS with Mark Wayne Mullen, a Republican senator from Oklahoma.
Funding for the Department of Homeland Security, though, is still lapsed.
Yesterday, Senate Democrats blocked another spending bill for the agency.
They continue to say they won't approve anything without new restrictions on immigration agents.
Democratic Senator Cory Booker said Nome's firing, quote, changes nothing about their position.
This week, The Times released a look at how the number of billionaires in the U.S.
has soared and where all that money is coming from.
Since 2017, the net worth of the wealthiest Americans has grown at a pace unmatched by any other income group, and the top 1% now collectively own as much stock and mutual funds as the remaining 99% of the country.
Some of this can be traced back to tax cuts a decade ago.
My colleague Katie Benner says the 2017 tax law did a few things that gave obvious benefits to the wealthy, like allowing owners of private jets to write off the cost of the planes and doubling the amount of tax-free money someone can pass along to their heirs.
