White House Reassigns Key Noem Allies Amid Growing Blacklist Concerns

The White House is orchestrating a strategic shift of Kristi Noem’s key supporters from the Department of Homeland Security amid growing internal discord over a potential dismissal list managed by Stephen Miller.

According to insider reports, ten officials aligned with Noem have been relocated to the State Department. Here, they will support the former Homeland Security chief in her new capacity as a special envoy for The Shield of the Americas, as informed by sources to the Daily Mail.

A White House representative disclosed that Noem supplied a list of staff members eager to transition with her to the State Department, facilitating this realignment.

This development follows the scrutiny of a blacklist, which included over twenty-five of Noem’s loyalists. The list was reviewed by Stephen Miller, Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff, known for his stringent policies and significant role in Noem’s departure.

Among those departing the agency are Noem’s senior deputy chiefs of staff, Joseph Guy, Stephen Munoz, and Troup Hemenway, in addition to Deputy Commissioner of Customs and Border Protection, Joseph Mazzara. Mazzara is notably connected to Corey Lewandowski, who has been speculated to have a personal relationship with Noem. All four individuals were named on the list assessed by Miller.

Other officials expected to depart include DHS Deputy General Counsel Giovanna Cinelli, as well as staffers Zachary Watson, Josh King, Octavian Miller, Jayden Bies and Josh Sedore.

Lewandowski will depart Homeland Security, but it’s unclear if he will join Noem at her new job.

‘They should all be f**king fired!’ a DHS insider familiar with the list told the Daily Mail. 

White House officials in the personnel department assured some DHS officials they would be protected from any purges, according to multiple DHS sources.

The move comes after a blacklist containing the names of more than two dozen Noem loyalists has been reviewed by Trump’s Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller

‘If any such list exists, Stephen Miller hasn’t seen it,’ a White House official told the Daily Mail.

A Homeland Security spokesperson would not confirm the latest move: ‘We have no personnel announcements to make at this time.’

One senior Trump official claimed the White House moved to rescue Noem’s top staffers as one of her chief rivals, Customs and Border Protection Commissioner Rodney Scott, sought to have them fired.

‘Rodney got totally cucked, he’s a f**king nobody,’ the official told the Daily Mail. 

Noem and Scott have had a public rivalry throughout her tenure leading Homeland Security.  

Noem was fired by Trump earlier this month after testifying on Capitol Hill that the President personally approved a controversial $220 million advertisement campaign.

The lavish ad campaign featured Noem riding on a horse at Mount Rushmore in her home state of South Dakota, and galloping beside a stampeding herd of bison.

Noem will be replaced by Markwayne Mullin, a conservative senator from Oklahoma at the end of the month. 

Her firing comes as the vast majority of DHS remains shut down due to Democrats’ refusal to approve funding.

Noem was grilled by her fellow Republicans during her Senate committee hearing, including hardline GOP Senator John Kennedy.

Kennedy suggested during his question that Noem participated in the commercial to promote herself rather than the President’s agenda.

‘The President approved ahead of time you spending $220 million running TV ads across the country in which you are featured prominently?’ Kennedy asked her.

Noem claimed Trump personally approved the campaign to which Kennedy replied, ‘to me, it puts the president in a terribly awkward spot.’

‘I’m not saying you’re not telling the truth,’ Kennedy continued. ‘It’s just hard for me to believe, knowing the president as I do, that you said, “Mr President, here’s some ads I’ve cut, and I’m going to spend $220 million running them” that he would have agreed to that.’

The shocking confrontation from Noem’s fellow Republican sent shockwaves through the White House.

Trump fired her just two days later after saying he had never approved or reviewed the advertising campaign.
