视频：“是时候了”——消息人士告诉福克斯新闻，Noem被解雇
福克斯新闻资深白宫记者彼得·杜西（Peter Doocy）在《The Story》节目中报道了导致国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆（Kristi Noem）被解雇的细节，据消息人士透露。
NEW 您现在可以收听福克斯新闻文章了！
俄克拉荷马州共和党参议员马克韦恩·穆林（Markwayne Mullin）刚刚被任命接替处境艰难的国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆，但他首先必须得到参议院的确认。
然而，由于诺姆领导下的国土安全部方向引发的愤怒和不满仍在发酵，该机构仍处于关闭状态，参议院民主党人不太可能让这一过程变得轻松。
尽管如此，穆林表示他已准备好迎接这一挑战。

“我们将努力争取每个人的支持，”穆林说。
“我希望人们明白，当我进入这个职位时，是的，我是共和党人，是的，我是保守派，”他继续说道。“但国土安全部的职责是保护所有人——无论你是否支持我，无论你有什么想法——我都将执行国会通过的政策。”
穆林的确认过程可能成为参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默和民主党人继续“束缚”美国移民和海关执法局（ICE）的下一个战场。
到目前为止，他们已拒绝了白宫提出的关于ICE改革的所有妥协方案，并在周四再次阻挠了为重新开放国土安全部提供全年资金的法案。

“有人问我是否会支持穆林参议员接替诺姆，”舒默在X平台（原推特）上说。“答案是响亮的‘不’。国土安全部的问题根深蒂固，远不止个人问题。这是政策问题，而非人事问题。在国土安全部和ICE被整顿之前，参议院不应考虑任何国土安全部部长提名人选。”
穆林表示，如果参议院民主党领袖希望，他愿意与舒默会面，但重申他正在争取每一位民主党人的支持。
“归根结底，我能做的就是做好我的工作，”穆林说。“我不会陷入针锋相对的局面，但如果他们有真正的担忧，我会倾听。我会看看这些担忧是否可行。但没有什么能阻止我履行我的职责。”
参议院的议事时间和委员会会议时间非常宝贵，目前参议院正在处理一项庞大的住房法案，同时仍在努力重新开放穆林被任命领导的机构。
参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩（John Thune）希望尽快推进这一职位的填补工作，因为唐纳德·特朗普总统设定的诺姆离职日期是3月31日。

“显然，他在参议院受到了充分的审查，所以希望我们能尽快推进这一进程，因为我认为这个职位需要尽快填补，”图恩说。
诺姆去年的确认过程也并不顺利。参议院以59票对34票确认了她的任命，只有7名民主党参议员与所有共和党人一起投票支持她就任这一职位。
密歇根州民主党参议员加里·彼得斯（Gary Peters）是少数几位与共和党人一起支持诺姆确认的民主党人之一。他也是该委员会的最高级别民主党成员，将深度参与对其同事穆林的审查工作。
当被福克斯新闻数字版问及是否预见穆林面临障碍时，彼得斯表示：“我不知道。”
“我还没有考虑过这个问题，”他说。“这都是新信息，给我时间处理。之后我很乐意回答问题。”
特朗普决定任命穆林之际，参议院共和党人对诺姆的支持正在瓦解。本周早些时候，在参议院司法委员会听证会上，诺姆遭到来自北卡罗来纳州共和党人汤姆·蒂利斯（Thom Tillis）和路易斯安那州共和党人约翰·肯尼迪（John Kennedy）的严厉质询，之后许多共和党人都不愿表态仍支持她。
其他人仍在支持她。
“我认为克里斯蒂·诺姆做得很好，”佛罗里达州共和党参议员里克·斯科特（Rick Scott）说。
尽管确认过程可能异常艰难，穆林至少有一位参议院民主党人不必担心不支持他：宾夕法尼亚州民主党参议员约翰·费特曼（John Fetterman），他称穆林是“比即将卸任的诺姆更好的选择”。
“是的，我们属于不同政党，但这是一个选择，”费特曼说。“我希望与他合作，让我们的美国更加安全。”

Oklahoma GOP senator must win over Democrats who have rejected White House compromise offers on ICE reforms

Video: ‘It was time’ for Noem’s firing, source tells Fox News
Fox News senior White House Correspondent Peter Doocy reports on the details that led to the firing of DHS Secretary Kristi Noem, according to sources, on ‘The Story.’
NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!
Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., was just tapped to replace embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, but first he must be confirmed by the Senate.
But with anger and frustration over the direction of the Department of Homeland Security under Noem still simmering, and the agency still shut down, Senate Democrats aren’t likely to make that an easy process.
Still, Mullin said he was ready for the challenge ahead.

“We’re going to try to earn everybody’s vote,” Mullin said.
“I want people to understand I’m not — when I go into this position, yes, I’m a Republican, yes, I’m conservative,” he continued. “But the Department of Homeland Security is to keep everybody — regardless of whether you support me, if you don’t support me, regardless of what your thoughts are — I’m here to enforce the policies that Congress passed.”
Mullin’s confirmation process could become the next battleground for Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and Democrats to continue their campaign of handcuffing Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
They have so far rejected every offer from the White House on compromise reforms to the agency and on Thursday again blocked a full-year funding bill to reopen DHS.
KRISTI NOEM TO FACE SENATE GRILLING OVER MINNEAPOLIS SHOOTINGS AS DHS SHUTDOWN HITS WEEK 3

“I’ve been asked if I would support Sen. Mullin as Noem’s replacement,” Schumer said on X. “The answer is a resounding NO. The rot in DHS is deep, much deeper than any individual. It’s a question of policy, not personnel. The Senate should not consider any DHS Secretary nominee until DHS and ICE are reined in.”
Mullin said that he would sit down with Schumer if the top Senate Democrat wished, but reiterated that he was after every Democrats’ vote for the job.
“At the end of the day, all I can do is do my job,” Mullin said. “I’m not going to get into, you know, a tit-for-tat, but if they have real concerns, I’m going to listen to it. I’m going to see if it’s practical. But nothing’s going to prevent me from doing my job.”
Floor and committee time is a valuable commodity in the Senate, which is currently processing a colossal housing package and still trying to reopen the very agency Mullin has been tapped to run.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., hopes to get the ball rolling quickly to fill the position, given that President Donald Trump set Noem’s exit date from the job for March 31.

“He’s obviously pretty well-vetted around here, so hopefully we can get the process going, because I think that’s a position that’s going to need to be filled quickly,” Thune said.
And Noem’s confirmation last year wasn’t a smooth process, either. The Senate confirmed her 59 to 34, with only seven Senate Democrats voting with all Republicans to install her in the position.
Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., was one of the few who joined Republicans to confirm Noem. He’s also the top-ranking Democrat on the panel and will be heavily involved in vetting his colleague for the position.
When asked by Fox News Digital if he envisioned hurdles for Mullin ahead, Peters said, “I don’t know.”
“I haven’t thought about it yet,” he said. “This is all new information, so give me time to process it. Then I’m happy to answer questions.”

Trump’s decision to tap Mullin comes as support among Senate Republicans for Noem was crumbling. She faced a grilling from Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., and John Kennedy, R-La., during a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing earlier in the week, and many Republicans weren’t quick to say they still backed her afterward.
Others were still in her corner.
“I think Kristi Noem has done a good job,” Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., said.
Still, despite what could become a grueling confirmation effort, Mullin has at least one Senate Democrat he doesn’t have to worry about supporting him: Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., who called the lawmaker a “nice upgrade” compared to the outgoing Noem.
“Yes, we’re in a different party, but this is the choice,” Fetterman said. “I want to work together to make our America more secure.”
