Trump Fires Homeland Security Chief, Names Mullin Replacement

0:00From Sydney, this is your March 5th update. President Donald Trump has fired his Secretary of Homeland Security, Christie Knowham. He announced that Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullin will step in as her replacement right away. Knowham have been facing intense scrutiny for months over immigration enforcement efforts under her watch. Public anger boiled over after federal agents shot and killed two civilians in separate incidents in Minnesota, Renee Good and Alex Pretty. Home labeled those deaths as responses to domestic terrorism threats, but video footage contradicted her statements and sparked widespread backlash against the administration's border policies. This leadership change highlights ongoing tensions and how the government tackles immigration, with Mullin now tasks to steady the ship. D&N is brought to you by our sponsor.
