(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump will hold a Cabinet meeting Thursday, a senior White House official told NewsNation.
The Cabinet meeting will be the first of 2026. It was confirmed that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem would attend amid calls for her resignation from Democrats and Republicans on Capitol Hill. On Tuesday, Trump said Noem would not be stepping down, saying the two have “a very good relationship.”
After 37-year-old Renee Good was fatally shot by a federal officer, Noem and others at DHS said Good was trying to run over agents and that the agents acted in self-defense.
The calls for Noem’s ouster follow a second fatal shooting in Minneapolis and come as immigration efforts face increasing scrutiny. NewsNation reported Trump met with Noem privately for nearly two hours in the Oval Office on Monday following the shooting.
