He made a change. He did it nicely too. He keeps her in the administration and saves her a lot of grief, while taking a negative narrative off the front page.
Kristi Noem was incompetent. Trump screwed up when he picked her (and most of his cabinet). Now he was forced to make a change.
Look at who he nominated to replace her; a horrible choice. Mullin is one of the least experienced, least knowledgeable, least professional Senators we have. Another Hegseth-like nomination.
It is as though Trump intentionally surrounds himself with incompetence.

The head of ICE under Obama had a budget of 6Billion and set records, She questioned how the current ICE should have a 80 Billion budget and do less, aftwards someone suggested to Follow the money.
Later Smerconish or someone like him said how much it would cost for 14 commercials promoting Noem trying to sell self-deportations or adding Trump to Mt Rushmore estimate was in the mid hundreds of thousands They too said follow the money 200 million dollars went somewhere but we wont find out where for at least three years.
Why does this sound like Joe Biden announcing Kamala Harris would be the Border Czar? It's deja vu all over again.
Kristi Noem being transferred to a made-up position is not a promotion. If this new position is placed under Dept. of State (as it should be) then Noem loses direct access to the President. That's a perp walk in Washington D.C.
As U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security (2025–2026), Kristi Noem focused on aggressive border security, reporting a 95% reduction in daily border encounters and the removal of thousands of undocumented immigrants
. She also oversaw major increases in Secret Service training, reduced fentanyl trafficking by over 50%, and returned Temporary Protected Status (TPS) to a temporary, non-permanent status.
Key accomplishments as Secretary of Homeland Security (2025–2026):
Border Security:Claimed the "safest border in American history" with record-low encounters, increased deportations, and the removal of over 168,000 individuals in 2025.
Immigration Enforcement:Presided over a massive crackdown on illegal immigration, including the end of Venezuelan and Haitian TPS extensions, and a 50%+ reduction in fentanyl trafficking at the border.
Secret Service Improvements:Led over 7,000 protective visits and increased training via the National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) to over 63,000 participants, while preventing an estimated $485 million in fraud.
Departmental Savings:Reported saving taxpayers over $13.2 billion within DHS in her first year.
You need to properly prompt AI. What Gemini provided was largely based on claims by the administration vs. hard data. I fed Gemini its own analysis and asked it to fact-check itself and assess the credibility of its sources:
The summary you provided is a fascinating look at how a specific "official narrative" can become the dominant data point for an AI.
As of today, March 5, 2026, that overview is a mix of high-level government talking points and actual policy shifts, though it lacks the critical context of the controversies that ultimately led to Kristi Noem being fired today.
Here is a fact-check of those claims and an assessment of why the AI reported them that way:
1. The Firing (The Current Reality)
Claim: Noem served from 2025–2026.
Fact-check:True.However, the "accomplishments" list ignores that President Trump fired her today, March 5, 2026.
Context: She was removed following a disastrous week of Congressional testimony.The breaking point was a dispute over whether the President personally authorized a $220 million DHS ad campaign featuring Noem (which she claimed he did, and he denied).She has been reassigned to a new role: Special Envoy for the "Shield of the Americas."
2. Border Security: 95% Reduction
Claim: 95% reduction in daily border encounters.
Fact-check:Highly Contextual. This number is a specific administration metric. DHS reported that daily apprehensions dropped from a Biden-era average of ~5,100 to roughly 251 per day by the end of 2025.
Credibility: This comes from official DHS and CBP press releases. While the raw math (comparing 5,100 to 251) supports a 95% drop, critics argue this was achieved through a "shutdown" of asylum and a national emergency declaration that redirected military resources to the border.
3. Removals: 168,000 Individuals
Claim: Removal of over 168,000 individuals in 2025.
Fact-check:Understated vs. Overstated.* Official DHS reports actually claim much higher numbers—over 713,000 formal deportations and 2.2 million "self-deportations."
The 168,000 figure appears to be an older, mid-year 2025 projection or a specific subset of "criminal alien" removals.
Credibility: The "self-deportation" numbers are controversial. Organizations like Pew Research and USAFacts note that while the foreign-born population did drop by roughly 1.4–1.6 million, it is difficult to prove these were all "voluntary" departures triggered by policy rather than general census fluctuations or fear of the crackdown.
4. Fentanyl: 50%+ Reduction
Claim: Reduced fentanyl trafficking by over 50%.
Fact-check:Misleading. * Reality: Government data (CBP/DEA) actually shows that fentanyl seizures dropped by about 55% between Jan–Sept 2025 compared to 2024.
The Logic Gap: The administration frames a drop in seizures as a drop in trafficking. Critics argue it could mean less is being caught or that cartels changed routes.
5. Departmental Savings: $13.2 Billion
Claim: Saved $13.2 billion in her first year.
Fact-check:Official Claim. * Source: This comes from a DHS press release titled "Secretary Noem Delivers $12 Billion in Savings."
Context: Most of this was attributed to Noem personally reviewing every contract over $100,000. However, this same "savings" measure was a focus of the Congressional hearing that got her fired, with lawmakers questioning the purchase of two Gulfstream G700 luxury jets for DHS use while she claimed to be "cutting waste."
Credibility Assessment
The "Gemini AI Overview" you shared relied almost exclusively on primary government sources (DHS.gov and White House releases).
Strengths: It accurately reflects the administration's stated goals and their "official" year-end reporting.
Weaknesses: It failed to include independent verification (like USAFacts or GAO) and missed the negative developments (the Minneapolis enforcement deaths and the ad-campaign scandal) that made Noem a liability.
Estimates are still that there are almost 12 million immigrants that are undocumented or in violation of green card stats or visa overstays.
Not impressed by 1.4% performance.
. She also oversaw major increases in Secret Service training,
Not certain that's true but she did increase ICE employees and reduced training by 40% including what she felt were unnecessary classes in law, crowd control and firearms safety. That could have greatly contributed to the three deaths and multiple injures.
The Navy actually teaches officers and senior non coms to creatively describe one's own contributions to the service in order to get promoted..
naturally Ai just repeats the synopsis written by Lewandowski and Noem; it almost laughable.
They did get three Americans killed, slandered them and protected the killers, while routinely picking up for deportation, people including young children, in the immigration pipeline legally, while denying American and Canadian Indian due process or those guilty of the most inane indiscretions' like bounced checks.
Secret Service Improvements: Led over 7,000 protective visits and increased training via the National Threat Assessment Center (NTAC) to over 63,000 participants, while preventing an estimated $485 million in fraud.
How was she on TV so much? It does answer the quest of why Lewandowski was in her office so much - because she wasn't.
Departmental Savings: Reported saving taxpayers over $13.2 billion within DHS in her first year.
This begs the question of whether these savings were before she got the 4 year budget increase of 75 billion or after?
Under the latest major funding bill passed in 2025, ICE’s annual budget is set to rise from about $8.7 billion to approximately $27.7 billion The Independent . This represents an unprecedented jump for the agency, making it one of the most heavily funded federal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and larger than the annual military budgets of several countries, including Iran, Turkey, Spain, and Mexico The Independent .
The increase is part of a broader package that allocates $75 billion over four years for ICE, with the bulk going toward:
Indeed. It is quite ironic that Trump supporters seem to hold every criticism of Trump as factually incorrect and merely an emotional reaction (TDS).
The reality seems to be that TDS more accurately describes the cultish, slavish attempts to defend Trump no matter what he does. That is, IMO, a derangement syndrome.
It is also irrational, irresponsible, and unpatriotic.

Well then , that fixes everything. /s

It is as though Trump intentionally surrounds himself with incompetence.
Jesus had disciples and Trump is the 2nd comming.
And apparently, he has proven to be very competent in finding and appointing said incompetence...
Noem is not as corrupt as your hero, by any means, but she is totally corrupt , and she will be just as corrupt in her new make work job.

This is the Year of the Flaming Whores, right?
Thank You , Thank You

Noem will be the "Special Envoy" to the Shields of America conference taking place this Saturday at the Doral Golf Club. beyond that? Who knows.
What will happen to Corey?
What will happen to the $200 million dollar contract to make a documentary starring K Noem?
Noem is still live on tv somewhere in Nashville taking softball questions from pre arranged friendly reporters.
Her "promotion" hasn't been mentioned yet.
Can't make this shit up.
Send her to Paraguay. On a one-way ticket.
I'd rather a one-way ticket to Iran.
I wonder if this will make her reneg on her vow to get Trumps face on Mt Rushmore ?
Noem is now officially a DEI hire.

What;s that, Fcking US and Lewindowski...?
yea, ok.
How many Billion are we gonna owe all these people illegally arrested, attacked, and or deported, and or shot in the face or back...?

Weird, I have never suffered from trump devotion syndrome.
