Trump entlässt Heimatschutzministerin Kristi Noem

US-Präsident Donald Trump hat seine Heimatschutzministerin Kristi Noem am Donnerstag entlassen. Die 54-Jährige war das Gesicht seiner rabiater Migrationspolitik, doch wachsende Unruhe in der Republikanischen Partei führte zu ihrem Abgang. Es handelt sich um die erste Entlassung eines Kabinettsmitglieds in Trumps zweiter Amtszeit.

Die Entlassung von Kristi Noem erfolgte am Donnerstag und markiert einen Wendepunkt in der Regierung von Donald Trump. Noem, die als Vollstreckerin seiner Einwanderungspolitik galt, hatte trotz zunehmender Kritik in der Republikanischen Partei wochenlang Trumps Unterstützung genossen. Der Unmut über die 54-Jährige hatte gefährliche Ausmaße angenommen, doch Trump hielt an ihrer unbedingten Loyalität und ihrem schneidigen Auftreten fest.

Trump widerstand Druck von Demokraten und kritischen Medien, da er es ablehnt, zu etwas gedrängt zu werden. In seiner zweiten Amtszeit hatte er bislang keinen Minister entlassen, unabhängig von deren Unfähigkeit oder Unpopularität. Die Entscheidung könnte als berechenbarer Zug Trumps interpretiert werden, der seine Vorliebe für loyale Figuren unterstreicht.

Noems Rolle in der rabiater Migrationspolitik machte sie zu einem zentralen Akteur, doch interne Spannungen zwangen Trump schließlich zum Handeln. Der Vorfall wirft Fragen zu den Dynamiken innerhalb der Republikanischen Partei auf, wo Kritik an Noem zunahm.

Senator Bernie Sanders was seen boarding a first-class flight from Reagan National Airport on Friday afternoon, shortly after the Senate passed a partial Department of Homeland Security funding bill that the House later rejected. President Donald Trump criticized the Senate measure, calling it inappropriate, as the partial shutdown extended into its record-breaking phase. The Senate has adjourned for a two-week recess with no plans to reconvene before April 13.

The Department of Homeland Security faces a partial shutdown starting Friday night as Congress failed to extend its funding amid disputes over immigration enforcement reforms. Democrats are demanding changes following recent incidents involving ICE and CBP agents, while Republicans criticize the proposals as excessive. Agencies like TSA and FEMA will be affected, though ICE remains funded separately.

A partial U.S. government shutdown began after Congress missed a funding deadline, centering on reforms to the Department of Homeland Security following the fatal shootings of two Minnesotans by ICE agents. Lawmakers are divided over measures like body cameras and judicial warrants for ICE operations, with a temporary funding deal offering only two weeks for DHS. The incident has sparked celebrity backlash and protests, including arrests related to a church disruption in St. Paul.
