After word came that President Donald Trump fired Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Thursday, the mood at the department suddenly shifted, a source inside the agency told ABC News. "She's gone," the source told ABC News, saying that there was a sigh of relief within the agency.

Noem is slated to leave her position on March 31, according to Trump, and will take a newly created position, Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas. The president said more details of that position would be revealed on Saturday. Trump named Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin as her replacement.

Noem's departure marked months of controversy and internal struggles inside the department, according to sources, with the secretary coming under scrutiny for her multimillion dollar advertising campaigns, photo ops during Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations and her statements following of the deaths of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by federal law enforcement in Minneapolis.

Noem and her chief adviser Corey Lewandowski -- who is reportedly also departing DHS -- both had a knack for lashing out, yelling and berating staff that crossed them, according to sources.

The Munchkins have a song for that.

[Omnipresent]

1. A sigh of relief that Noem is going?

Markwayne is his own brand of batshit crazy.

[OldBaldy1701E]

9. That is the issue.

He is worse than her.

She is just vapid and shallow. (And, a decent candidate for Dunning Kruger.)

He is absolutely vile and so worthless that his only way to get anywhere is to be a huge bully who thinks that the only way to operate is like a Klingon ship. (You advance in the ranks by killing those above you.)

That is something that you just know that yokel would love to practice, mainly because he has so little of anything else.

[Bengus81]

26. "The only reason I'm not in Prison is because of my wife"

That a direct quote from the new leader of ICE. Gawd............

[BidenRocks]

29. They could never be Klingon!

They have No Honor!

They are writing victory songs while the fighting has just started.

[PatSeg]

15. That was what I was thinking

But I expected someone like Markwayne. Whenever Trump gets rid of someone, they are usually replaced with someone worse.

[twodogsbarking]

2. Ding dong.

[niyad]

10. That is an insult to all practicing Witches.

[COL Mustard]

3. I'm certainly not a fan of Noem

But I’m not sure Mullin will be any better. He’s likely to challenge any disagreement with physical force. Remember “Stand your butt up”?

[niyad]

11. Exactly.

[BonnieJW]

12. No one is going to be better

Stevie Miller calls those shots and he's not going anywhere

[COL Mustard]

17. What concerns me

Is if Vance becomes President, either Miller or Vought will become VP, and then we're really screwed. This is just amateur hour. They would be malignant and professionally evil.

[Aviation Pro]

4. Mullin can do himself a solid by

Announcing that he will cancel the planes contract but he won’t.

[groundloop]

6. Meet the new boss, same as the old boss....

I'm afraid it's not going to be any better. About the only difference is that Mullin probably won't be carrying on an affair with Corey Lewandowski.

[Pinback]

7. Noem without the Botox -- sure, that'll be great ( t)

[Joinfortmill]

8. Two shiver inducing macabre creatures.

[Trueblue Texan]

13. Does this mean Markwayne will leave a Senate vacancy? Nt

[BumRushDaShow]

18. Yes

but in most states, it can be filled with an appointee until the special election and in this case, we are talking OK.

[travelingthrulife]

20. Can't believe this ignorant goober is a Senator.

Must be in the files.

[Bayard]

14. trump fires her,

Then create a new position for her. What a guy!

[SouthBayDem]

[travelingthrulife]

19. Special envoy for the shield of America??

So is she going to continue her reign of terror in Mexico, Central and South America?

[twodogsbarking]

21. You can scrape the shit off of your shoes but the stink remains.

[calimary]

30. GOOD one!

[louis-t]

22. Be careful what you wish for.

MWM will be no picnic. He's a bully. He starts fights with anyone who crosses him. But I'm still glad she's gone.

[BumRushDaShow]

24. The Nazi Greg Bovino was a bully too - the ultimate cosplaying SS commander, yet....

Gregory Bovino removed from his role as US Border Patrol commander at large, The Atlantic reports

When the P.R. machine can't save them, then they get "moved" elsewhere or out the door.

[calimary]

31. Yep. Pretty much.

When the PR machine can’t save you, you’ll probably get “moved” elsewhere, or out the door.

I think the donald figures it’s cheaper in the long run to “kick ‘em sideways” into some new job. If they hate it, they might leave on their own. But if the new job can benefit them in some way, what the hell? Maybe it winds up making them bigger, stronger, and more of a threat.

[Callie1979]

23. Mullin will probably institute daily weight lifting sessions a la Kegsbreath

Plus institute new "tough guy" grooming regs

[BaronChocula]

25. Which old witch?

Conflicted Witch!

[Ray Bruns]

28. A witch once turned me into a newt.

[Ray Bruns]

27. As someone else stated:

“Replacing Kristy Noem with Markwayne Mullin is like replacing syphilis with gonorrhea”
