Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is seeking advice on “how to fire people who don’t like us” as she moves to overhaul a workforce that she complained “hasn’t been required to do much.”

Noem criticized her employees Wednesday during a public meeting with advisers, highlighting the increasingly strained relationship the secretary has with many of the Department of Homeland Security’s roughly 250,000 workers.
