President-elect Donald Trump reportedly plans to name South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as Homeland Security secretary, in a trio of moves that advance a hard-line approach to immigration, including mass deportation and aggressive action against drug cartels.
Trump had announced Tom Homan, a former immigration official in the first Trump administration, would be in a role the next president called the “border czar.”
“I’ve known Tom for a long time, and there is nobody better at policing and controlling our Borders,” Trump posted late Sunday on social media. “Likewise, Tom Homan will be in charge of all Deportation of Illegal Aliens back to their Country of Origin.”
