The Dam Rock Station Playing Anything that Rocks!!
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) — Former South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem has been Secretary of Homeland Security for 12 days. In that time, it doesn’t appear she has spent much time in her new office in Washington D.C. On Jan. 25, Kristi Noem was confirmed by the U.S. Senate
“The yeas are 59 the nays are 34 the nomination is confirmed,” was the reading of the confirmation vote.
As Homeland Secretary, Noem leads the third largest department in the U.S. Government with just over a quarter of a million employees. Homeland Security encompasses 22 agencies including Customs and Border Protection, the Secret Service the Coast Guard and FEMA to name a few.
The media library on the Department of Homeland Security website already features 91 photos of Noem at various events. It is clear she is keeping a high profile. On Monday, she was in New Orleans as that city prepares for the Super Bowl.

“We plan for it to be an exciting event, one that will be safe,” Noem said in a news report. “What I’m gonna ask is everybody respect your law enforcement officers, that you respect public safety. We are a nation of laws and there’s consequences for breaking those laws.”
In her first days as Secretary her focus appears to be immigration. She tagged along with ICE agents in New York as they arrested illegal immigrants in an overnight raid in the Bronx. She spoke with CBS’s Major Garret afterward.”It’s not a spectacle. This is– this is our nation’s– law enforcement, judicial process. The scales of justice are equally applied to everybody,” said Noem said in Garret’s interview.
Noem also rode horses and flew in a helicopter with border patrol agents at the southern border on Feb. 2.
A Florida newspaper reports she is scheduled to head to the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay Cuba on Friday where the Trump administration plans to house thousands of undocumented immigrants. The former governor’s grueling schedule doesn’t appear to be getting any easier any time soon.
