Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

President Trump has announced plans to replace Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem with Markwayne Mullin. According to reports, Trump has been considering Mullin as his replacement for several weeks.

Mullin is a Republican congressman from Oklahoma who has served on the House Committee on Homeland Security. He has previously expressed support for Trump’s policies and has been a vocal critic of certain Democratic lawmakers.

Trump reportedly became privately furious with Noem during her testimony before the Senate, which led to him reconsidering his decision to keep her as Secretary of Homeland Security.

Noem had been serving as Secretary of Homeland Security since January 2021. Her departure from the position is not yet clear, but it is expected that Trump will make an official announcement soon.

Mullin’s appointment would mark a significant change in the leadership of the Department of Homeland Security, which has been responsible for coordinating national efforts to combat terrorism and protect the country’s borders.

The news comes as Trump continues to face criticism from some lawmakers and pundits over his handling of various domestic policy issues.
