Allies of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem are praising her as the epitome of South Dakota toughness amidst her proactive efforts to secure the southern border and address illegal immigration. Representative Dusty Johnson of South Dakota commended Noem for her hands-on approach, highlighting her background of running a working ranch for decades and her dedication to getting the job done.
Since assuming her role as DHS chief on Jan. 25, Noem has been actively involved in immigration enforcement, participating in raids in New York City and conducting a horseback tour of the southern border in Texas. Her actions align with President Donald Trump's commitment to enhancing border security and addressing the influx of illegal immigrants.
