President-elect Donald Trump plans to nominate South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem (R) as homeland security secretary, according to CNN and The Wall Street Journal.

Noem along with Stephen Miller, who was named White House deputy chief of staff for policy, and Tom Homan, who will serve as Trump’s “border czar,” are expected to play a key role in executing the president-elect’s agenda on immigration, including his mass deportation plan.

Noem was first elected governor of South Dakota in 2018. She was reelected to a second term in 2022 after securing 62% of the vote. She rose to national prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic for speaking out against health care restrictions, including by rejecting face mask mandates. Noem won’t be able to run for reelection in 2026 due to term limits.

Noem is barred from setting foot in 20% of her state’s land after all nine Indigenous tribes in South Dakota have banned her in response to her offensive claims about Native people who reside in the state.

in response to her offensive claims about Native people

When ever I hear, "I B offended", I know someone's been "talked to".

Hopefully this is a rumor. She’s a terrible pick.

As it’s structured now, Noem and Homan work together in HHS. Homan will play bad cop and receive merciless flak for 4 years,

Noem plays good cop soothing the savage media. Might be a smart appointment

Well, she’s very anti-illegal immigration and her trouble with the “tribes” was because of statements she made about them not doing enough to stop the cartels from moving into/through their land. Kinda makes me feel good about her as a pick.

Easy to replace her with a conservative?

I hope she takes Mayorkass out behind the barn.

I don’t like this idea at all.

Keep Noem as Gov of S.D.

We need someone whose very appearance scares the shit out of
enemies, miscreants, and illegal border jumpers.

Not a cute MILTF, even if a Conservative Gov gal.

DHS director Tom Homan, better....

Absolutely horrible choice if true.

“Absolutely horrible choice if true.”

I don’t know if I’ll go that far, but her flip-flop on boys competing in girl’s sports (going from against to supporting it) was due to being owned by South Dakota’s version of the Deep State. She later flipped back to against, but only after a huge outcry.

“plans to”

Frankly, I think none of these people are THE people. On Inauguration Day he’ll announce all the real appointments. He’s just messin’ with the MSM. (Not true, but wouldn’t that be fun?)

Newsmax reported this early this morning, saying the official announcement was still in progress.

Great pick - experienced executive, DC outsider, well acquainted with immigration issues.

South Dakota’s version of the Deep State.

Hopefully, Charlie Kirk and other activists will try to fix that soon. It's easier in the sparsely populated states.

Sioux Falls seems like an appendage of Minnesota but the rest of the state is ripe for a MAGA takeover.

I think she’d be better in a different position.

Wow, a strong Republican woman to replace the woman (no balls - Alexandria Mayorkas) who currently runs DHS.

Why do you say that?

She’s a dog killing whack job. Beyond that she’s a light weight governor of a state with less than a million people so why make her the head of a very major agency?

So far this is all rumor. No official statement has been issued on her or Rubio that I’ve seen.

You comment about dogs tells me that you’ve never been rural, and you’ve never ran across a mean dog.
I’ve killed a few over the course of my life. You do what you’ve got to do.
She’s a conservative outsider. The exact kind of person we need there cleaning house, draining the swamp. Who wants an inbred DC insider? Screw those people.
She was wishy-washy on the trans issue, and learned her lesson. DHS doesn’t have much to do with the trans issue.
