Chaos at the Cyber Shield: Noem’s CISA czar reassigned after months of turmoil

Nine months into his tenure as acting director of CISA, Madhu Gottumukkala faced constant staff backlash, clashes with Trump-era appointees, and aggressive contracting moves—including not renewing a roughly $30 million license—along with a reportedly failed counterintelligence polygraph that DHS later labeled unsanctioned. Facing mounting scrutiny and political pressure, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem initially resisted removal, then reassigned Gottumukkala on Thursday, with Nick Anderson stepping in as interim, as lawmakers prepare for Senate testimony and demand accountability for CISA’s leadership and mission readiness.

Noem’s DHS leadership fuels Coast Guard tensions over mission priorities

Two officials and Coast Guard insiders say Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s first year at DHS has strained ties with the Coast Guard by shifting resources toward migrant deportations—reducing emphasis on search-and-rescue—and prompting clashes, including a May incident where adviser Corey Lewandowski berated flight crews for missing a personal item. Coast Guard aircraft have been increasingly used for deportations, fueling concerns about morale and a cultural shift away from traditional missions, even as DHS denies formal guidance changing priorities.

Judge blocks Noem’s bid to curb Congress access to ICE detention facilities

A federal judge blocked Homeland Secretary Kristi Noem’s seven‑day advance notice rule for congressional oversight visits to ICE detention facilities, ruling the policy violated appropriations law and is unlikely to be enforceable even when funded by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBB); in a second setback this year, the court indicated Democrats are likely to prevail, preserving Congress’s ability to access detention sites amid heightened scrutiny of immigration enforcement.

Democrats pursue a careful, evidence-driven path on Noem impeachment

Democrats aren’t rushing to impeach Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, opting for a careful investigation led by Rep. Jamie Raskin before any vote; leadership stresses they want a solid case rather than a show vote, and while many Democrats back impeachment, any successful move would require GOP votes in a narrowly divided House and would still face a Senate hurdle for removal.

Capitol Rift Deepens Over Noem as DHS Backlash Triggers Funding Showdown

In the wake of a Minneapolis shooting tied to DHS operations, Republicans like John Thune refrain from backing Kristi Noem, while Thom Tillis says she should be ousted and Democrats threaten impeachment if Trump doesn’t fire her. The dispute centers on DHS leadership and immigration enforcement as lawmakers push to strip or renegotiate DHS funding from a larger six-bill package, risking a partial government shutdown. House Democrats are also planning impeachment discussions, and multiple hearings are scheduled to scrutinize DHS officials, signaling a broad Capitol fight over Noem’s leadership and immigration policy.

Shapiro calls for end to Minnesota immigration mission and for Noem to be fired amid funding clash

Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro told CBS Mornings that the Trump administration's Minnesota immigration crackdown must be terminated after a fatal shooting by federal agents, and he said DHS Secretary Kristi Noem should be fired. He pressed Congress to block funding for the operation in the DHS package moving through the Senate, arguing the approach is wrong and must end, as Tom Homan is set to oversee the effort and a funding deadline looms.
