Noem's ouster could pave way to reopen shuttered Homeland Security Department

The ouster of Kristi Noem opens the path for a potential deal to reopen the Department of Homeland Security, according to Senate sources familiar with negotiations.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) said Noem’s departure from Homeland Security is a “major step” that he said should move the negotiations closer to a deal.

A Senate GOP source familiar with the talks said Republican leaders hope it will be enough to persuade a group of centrists to break with their leadership and vote for a bill to reopen the government.

Four Democrats voted with Republicans in the House Thursday to fund the Homeland Security Department through September.

Depends, I doubt Mullin is much of an improvement.

There isn't an ounce of honesty or integrity in this whole administration.

that Democrats still want the proposed changes to how ICE operates before voting to reopen DHS? Just changing the leadership of DHS isn't going to be good enough- or at least it shouldn't be.......
