South Dakota governor has mandate to tackle immigration crisis after president declared national emergency
The US Senate has voted to install Kristi Noem as secretary of homeland security as Donald Trump moves quickly to implement his promised clampdown on illegal immigration. The upper chamber of Congress voted 59-34 to confirm the governor of South Dakota to lead the Department of Homeland Security, with a mandate to tackle the US border crisis.
“Border security must remain a top priority,” Noem said last week during her confirmation hearing. “As a nation, we have the right and responsibility to secure our borders against those who would do us harm.” Noem’s confirmation comes after the Senate approved Marco Rubio as secretary of state and Pete Hegseth as secretary of defence, one of the president’s most controversial selections.
