Noem assumes leadership of the department with a stated focus on strengthening border security and reforming immigration policies, aligning with the administration’s priorities. She has also emphasized bolstering law enforcement efforts to address threats such as criminal organizations and terrorism. Her agenda includes equipping intelligence and law enforcement agencies with tools to prevent potential attacks and improving disaster response capabilities.
Before her confirmation, Noem served as South Dakota’s first female governor and was the state’s lone representative in the U.S. House. She also has experience as a rancher, farmer, and small business owner, contributing to a diverse professional background.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
Her confirmation comes as the Department of Homeland Security faces ongoing challenges, including border issues, national security concerns, and disaster management. Noem’s tenure will likely focus on addressing these priorities with bipartisan cooperation in mind, given the nature of her Senate approval.
