Likely a part of President Trump’s frustration with Kristi Noem’s management style is that it turned the once widely popular issue of mass deportations into a recurring PR nightmare. In Noem’s defense, her aggressive and expansive approach to deporting illegal aliens was consistent with what Trump promised on the campaign trail. Tom Homan’s “worst of the worst” strategy is more politically prudent, but it’s a downgrade from the “largest deportation campaign in history.” I talked about her firing last night on Fox News at Night with Trace Gallagher.
