Oh, right, there's someone highly qualified for that
position - NOT!!! So, instead of draining the 'swamp'
he is going to overfill it with brownnoser. Dang, our
country is so screwed for the next 4 years which will
take another 10 to undo afterwards.
"President-elect Donald Trump has chosen South Dakota
Gov. Kristi L. Noem (R) to serve as his homeland
security secretary, picking another loyalist for a
crucial role after he campaigned heavily on fortifying
the border.
The selection was confirmed by people familiar with the
choice who spoke on the condition of anonymity to
discuss a decision not yet made public. Spokespeople
for Trump’s transition team and Noem did not respond to
requests for comment.
As homeland security secretary, Noem would lead a
sprawling federal bureaucracy with a $60 billion budget
and more than 230,000 employees.
The role is key to Trump’s domestic policy agenda,
especially given his pledge to deport millions of
undocumented immigrants and impose a crackdown at the
U.S.-Mexico border. Noem is the latest high-profile
choice related to border security that Trump has made
since defeating Vice President Kamala Harris in the
presidential election a week ago.
As well as customs, border and immigration enforcement,
the Department of Homeland Security oversees the
response to natural and man-made disasters, anti-
terrorism work and cybersecurity. It also houses the
Secret Service, which has been under scrutiny for
months after the attempted assassination of Trump at a
campaign rally this summer.
Trump took steps Monday toward his campaign promises to
close the border to migrants and deport undocumented
immigrants on a massive scale with two senior
appointments to the incoming White House.
Trump announced that Tom Homan, former acting
Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, would
serve as “border czar” in charge of border security as
well as deportations. Former speechwriter and campaign
adviser Stephen Miller — who helped develop policies
during Trump’s first administration, including the ban
on travel from Muslim-majority countries and the
separation of families at the border — is expected to
become a deputy chief of staff.
Noem, a farmer and rancher, has served as South Dakota
governor since 2019. She previously served as the
state’s at-large congressperson and in the state
legislature.
She stood out early on in her governorship for refusing
to implement restrictions related to the coronavirus
pandemic in her state.
Noem was initially viewed as a possible running mate
for Trump in his comeback campaign. But her prospects
seemed to dim after she recalled in a book published in
May that she shot and killed a family dog because it
was “untrainable” and aggressive.
The dog story caused a national uproar, with both
Democrats and Republicans expressing unease. Noem
defended the decision to kill the dog.
“We love animals, but tough decisions like this happen
all the time on a farm,” Noem wrote on X at the time.
Noem remained a campaign surrogate for Trump, who
ultimately picked Ohio Sen. JD Vance as his vice-
presidential candidate.
While South Dakota is more than 1,000 miles from the
U.S.-Mexico border, Noem has sought to keep her state
in the national spotlight when it comes to securing the
southern border. She has sent South Dakota National
Guard troops there, including one deployment that drew
scrutiny because it was privately funded.
Noem has also echoed Trump’s harsh rhetoric on illegal
immigration, calling the situation at the border an
“invasion.” In South Dakota, Noem was banned from
Native American reservations after making provocative
comments about the impact of Mexican drug cartels on
the communities."
