Noem silent during Trump Cabinet meeting

Kristi Noem was sidelined amid calls for her resignation after fallout over the fatal federal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, while Trump limited speaker participation.

  • On Thursday at the White House, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem did not speak during the roughly 90-minute Cabinet meeting, which President Donald Trump ended without taking reporters' questions.
  • After the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti, 37-year-old Minneapolis man, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's early statements were contradicted by video and reporting, while internal White House sources reported disputes over messaging involving Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller.
  • Trump opened with prepared remarks and said `We are going to ask a couple of people to say a few words, and we're not going to go through the whole table`, then called on selected officials including Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
  • President Donald Trump nonetheless expressed confidence in Noem even as pressure mounted, while lawmakers urged her resignation and Border Czar Tom Homan signaled shifts in ICE tactics in Minnesota.
  • The incident underscores an internal power struggle among senior immigration advisers, marking a shift from marathon Cabinet meetings to curated sessions that centralize messaging and focus scrutiny on DHS credibility via media and social platforms.
