Kristi Noem, President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for the Department of Homeland Security, affirmed her commitment to upholding the Constitution during her confirmation hearing. When questioned by Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan about the possibility of sending federal law enforcement officials into a state without coordinating with its governor, Noem emphasized her dedication to following the rules of the country.
Slotkin inquired, 'If the president asks you to send in federal law enforcement to a state without coordination of that governor, would you support that action?' Noem responded by stating, 'Senator, my job, if nominated and sworn in as secretary of homeland security, is to uphold the Constitution and to uphold the rules of this country.'
