That's not fired, that's reappointed to a new position.
When the second word of the title is wrong, well get it right, people are misinterpreting this right now.

Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link.

The new position is made up and has no authority, so I think "fired" is not totally wrong.
And Turnip doesn't have the authority to go to war with Iran, but he did anyways, so your point is?
He has whatever authority the Supreme Court and Congress decide he has.
Congress already declared he didn't have the right to do that without their approval.
And yet they haven't done anything in response or removed him from office for ignoring them numerous times.

It sounds like they're making up a new position. It sounds like this phony agency is supposed to be the DHS but for North and South America.
Because, you know, they're called America, so clearly it all belongs to the United States... /s
she'll still pull a(n even bigger) salary and keep her benefits, they did this during his first term plenty.
it's essentially a pay-off, she's too high-profile to assassinate now and they want to keep her from doing a tell all
Noem “will be moving to be Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, our new Security Initiative in the Western Hemisphere we are announcing on Saturday in Doral, Florida,” Trump posted on social media. “I thank Kristi for her service at ‘Homeland.’”
This is some, "You can be Fire Lord, Azula, cause now I'm the Phoenix King" bullshit.
Shit sandwich or a giant douche. Take your pick.
That all depends on whose poop is between the bread.
Assuming Noem is the sandwich, it should be hers.
I'll pass.
If it was Britney Spears in her prime or Ryan Gosling's I'd eat the shit sandwich any day.
Oh I forgot about Margot Robbie I'd ask for seconds there.
Release the Epstein Files
New man in the trump cabinet, eh? Is he one of the guys who beats up his wife, or is he a rapist?
Yes.
Not fired, she's getting promoted to Team America Western Hemisphere Police.
It gives Assistant (to the) Regional Manager vibes
That is a very frightening name.
I’m gonna go out on a limb and guess that the least negative thing I could say about him is that his first name is two first names.
Thank you for the chuckle 😂
I'd bet he's got a brother named Frankjohn or a sister named Beckyjane.
Wiki ays he is part Cherokee (lol), owns a bunch business and has an mma record of 3 wins one by rear naked which is probably the move he uses on underage girls. Other then that it seems to be pretty much typical political goblin shit.
Two first names, a quintessential trait for a shit kicking slack jawed backwater redneck cow fucking rube.
This "Shield of the Americas" thing that apparently the very NOT FIRED please don't tell people i was fired-Noem is being shunted into is gonna be just another Greenland-esque bullshit attempt to push and bully every sovereign nation across two continents. And with her involved, everybody brace yourself because it's gonna get stupider, more insulting, and more aggressive. Like yeah, better get this woman involved in international diplomacy because she and her boyfriend/side piece did such a fucking normal job of domestic affairs... ಠ_ಠ
And makes up a new government entity for her to “head”.
Another new asshole.
