Illinois Senator Dick Durbin has weighed in on President Donald Trump’s decision to fire Kristi Noem as DHS Secretary and replace her with Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin.

Durbin’s statement says “ Kristi Noem was the face of an unpopular, illegal, and outright dangerous mass deportation campaign that claimed the lives of innocent Americans and terrorized many more. Our country expressed outrage, she repeatedly lied before Congress, and even the President finally conceded she was unfit for the job.”
