'NOEM'LAND SECURITY: Trump to Tap South Dakota Gov for DHS Role: Report

posted by Hannity Staff - 11.12.24

According to CNN and multiple sources, Donald Trump has selected South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem to head up the Department of Homeland Security.

Earlier this year, Noem was rumored to be on Trump’s VP shortlist.

From CNN:

Noem will be tapped to take over the agency as two key immigration hardliners — Stephen Miller and Tom Homan — are slated to serve in senior roles, signaling Trump is serious about his promise to crack down on his immigration pledges. With his selection of Noem, Trump is ensuring a loyalist will head an agency he prioritizes and that is key to his domestic agenda.

The department saw an immense amount of turmoil the last time Trump was in office. Then, DHS had five different leaders, only two of whom were Senate-confirmed. The agency has a $60 billion budget and hundreds of thousands of employees.

Noem, who previously was a South Dakota representative, will now be tasked with overseeing a sprawling agency that oversees everything from US Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the US Secret Service.
