President Trump has nominated Kristi Noem, the Republican governor of South Dakota, to be his next Homeland Security secretary. Noem is a close ally of Trump and has been a vocal supporter of his policies.
In a statement, Trump praised Noem’s “strong leadership” and “commitment to securing our homeland.” He said that she is “a proven leader who will keep America safe.”

Noem has no experience in homeland security, but she has a strong background in law enforcement. She served as the sheriff of Minnehaha County, South Dakota, from 2007 to 2011, and was elected governor in 2018.
Some experts have questioned whether Noem is qualified to lead the Department of Homeland Security. However, Trump has defended his choice, saying that Noem is a “quick learner” who will be able to “hit the ground running.”
The Department of Homeland Security is responsible for protecting the United States from terrorism and other threats.
The Department of Homeland Security was created in 2002 in response to the September 11 terrorist attacks. It is responsible for protecting the United States from terrorism, natural disasters, and other threats.
The department has a wide range of responsibilities, including:
- Protecting the nation's borders
- Preventing and responding to terrorist attacks
- Preparing for and responding to natural disasters
- Enforcing immigration laws
Noem's nomination must be confirmed by the Senate.
Noem's nomination must be confirmed by the Senate before she can become Homeland Security secretary. The Senate is expected to hold a hearing on her nomination in the coming weeks.
It is unclear whether Noem will be confirmed by the Senate. Some Republican senators have expressed concerns about her lack of experience in homeland security.
