Blue-state governors move to keep heat on Noem as DHS fires back

Two Democratic sanctuary-state governors signaled they won't let Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem quietly shift into her new diplomatic role after a year of turbulent immigration enforcement operations in their states.

President Donald Trump announced his intention to replace Noem with Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., and transition her into a new role as special envoy for the Shield of the Americas, becoming part of a coalition of Latin American countries the president announced Saturday that will collaborate on drug cartel crime interdiction.

Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker posted a video statement addressing Noem following the departure announcement, telling her "don't let the door hit you on the way out."
