South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is set to undergo her confirmation hearing to lead the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Friday. The hearing, scheduled before the Senate Homeland Security Committee, is expected to focus on border security and plans for a significant deportation operation.
If confirmed, Noem, nominated by President-elect Trump, will assume a crucial role in the next administration. In addition to overseeing border security, she will be responsible for cybersecurity, response to natural disasters, and counterterrorism efforts.
