WASHINGTON \u2014 President-elect Donald Trump said Tuesday night he will nominate South Dakota Republican Gov. Kristi Noem to lead the U.S. Department of Homeland Security, which will carry out Trump\u2019s plan to conduct mass deportations of millions of people in the country without proper legal status.<\/p>

\u201cKristi has been very strong on Border Security,\u201d Trump said in a statement. \u00a0\u201cShe will work closely with\u00a0\u201cBorder Czar\u201d\u00a0Tom Homan to secure the Border, and will guarantee that our American Homeland is secure from\u00a0our adversaries. I have known Kristi for years, and have worked with her on a wide variety of projects \u2013 She will be a great part of our mission to Make America Safe Again.\u201d<\/p>

DHS is the agency primarily responsible for immigration enforcement and border security and handles temporary protections to allow immigrants to live and work in the United States. As Trump rolls out his nominees, Noem would be the first governor to get the nod for the Cabinet.<\/p>

DHS has about 260,000 federal employees and\u00a0a nearly $62 billion discretionary budget authority.<\/a><\/p>\t\r\n

The news had already caused a backlash among Democrats even before Trump\u2019s announcement, as media reports said Noem would be selected.<\/p>

\u201cWith a long history of championing Trump\u2019s draconian immigration policies, Governor Kristi Noem will carry out his cruel plans without a second thought,\u201d Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said in a statement.<\/p>

Noem said in a statement she is \u201chonored and humbled\u201d to be selected.<\/p>

\u201cI look forward to working with Border Czar Tom Homan to make America SAFE again,\u201d said Noem. \u201cWith Donald Trump, we will secure the Border, and restore safety to American communities so that families will again have the opportunity to pursue The American Dream.\u201d<\/p>\r\n

I am honored and humbled that President Donald J. Trump has selected me to be the Secretary of Homeland Security. I look forward to working with Border Czar Tom Homan to make America SAFE again.

With Donald Trump, we will secure the border and restore safety to American\u2026 https:\/\/t.co\/uMWCwy5ukb<\/a><\/p>— Kristi Noem (@KristiNoem) November 13, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote>
