Her appointment expired last month,and she now acts as a senior advisor at the State Department,focusing on the coalition aimed at fighting organized crime and drug trafficking in the Americas. Noem&#8217;s role was initially awarded in March but was seen as a demotion, and her activities in the position have been limited. Her departure comes amid previous controversies, including her congressional testimony and behavior in the role. The change was confirmed by State Department officials, and her successor as DHS Secretary is Markwayne Mullin. It remains uncertain what her next steps within the Trump governance may be.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><br \/>\n<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\"><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>Kristi Noem, formerly the head of the Department of Homeland Security, is no longer serving as President Donald Trump\u2019s special envoy to the Shield of the Americas, reports on Thursday evening indicated.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/kristi-noem-no-longer-trump-envoy-shield-of-the-americas\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">CBS News<\/a> was the first to report the move, with NewsNation confirming it later.<\/p>\n<p>Noem had been moved to the position in March after her tenure at DHS.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cKristi Noem\u2019s envoy status expired last month and she is no longer in the role,\u201d a State Department official said about the move.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe is now a senior advisor to Deputy Secretary Landau and continues to work on the Shield of the Americas portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Shield of the Americas is a Trump administration-led coalition of numerous nations in the Americas and the Caribbean that focuses on organized crime and narco-trafficking.<\/p>\n<p>Noem was the first person to hold the role, albeit as a quiet demotion that appeared designed to relieve her of her duties at DHS.<\/p>\n<p>State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott confirmed that Noem\u2019s appointment had lapsed in an interview Thursday night, without elaborating on the circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve seen the secretary\u2019s time as envoy expire,\u201d Pigott said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/thehill.com\/homenews\/administration\/6152805-kristi-noem-shield-americas-envoy-departure\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The Hill<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe continues to be at the State Department as a senior adviser,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>While Noem\u2019s envoy designation expired before the United Nations held its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/rubio-kicks-palestinian-leaders-curb-ahead-un-assembly-revokes-visas-terrorism-ties\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">General Assembly<\/a> in September, she continued sitting in on meetings in New York.<\/p>\n<p>However, CBS noted that Noem\u2019s \u201cpublic activities in the envoy role appear to have been limited,\u201d and the UNGA was her last major appearance in the role.<\/p>\n<p>Noem\u2019s appointment as the special envoy began in March, after a series of controversies led to President Trump reportedly deciding to end her time at Homeland Security.<\/p>\n<p>The tipping point was her testimony before Congress, it was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wsj.com\/politics\/policy\/trump-dhs-kristi-noem-markwayne-mullin-85815862\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported<\/a>, particularly the claim that Trump himself had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/report-president-trump-asking-aides-corey-lewandowski-profited-kristi-noems-220-million-dhs-ads\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">signed off on a $220 million ad campaign<\/a> that detractors said had promoted Noem over the department\u2019s mission.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, concerns about her behavior in the role \u2014 including claims she had a pilot <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/breaking-gop-rep-nancy-mace-plans-investigate-outgoing-dhs-secretary-kristi-noem-need-hold-accountable\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">fired<\/a> over a misplaced blanket \u2014<\/p>\n<p>Oklahoma Sen. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dhs-secretary-markwayne-mullin-reveals-truth-illegal-alien-shot-ice-nyc-points-finger-mamdani-hochul\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Markwayne Mullin<\/a> replaced her in the role of secretary of Homeland Security.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s unclear what Noem\u2019s next move inside the Trump administration will be, if she remains there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s always these types of changes that happen,\u201d Pigott told NewsNation. \u201cThis is part of what\u2019s happening with these positions.
