Vision for Enhanced Collaboration

Kristi Noem, nominated by President-elect Donald Trump, pledges to enhance collaboration among major federal agencies if confirmed as Homeland Security Secretary. Her focus remains on a synchronized effort involving the DHS, CISA, FBI, and CIA to address domestic terrorism effectively.

Noem underlined the necessity of interagency communication to detect, prevent, and respond to threats, reinforcing the nation’s preparedness.

Noem stresses the crucial need for resource allocation, coordination, and collaboration across government levels to address these threats. Both Republicans and Democrats scrutinized her plans, with Republicans focusing on border security and Democrats questioning her counterterrorism credentials. However, Noem proposed a transparent and data-driven approach, assuring factual communication.

Focus on Domestic Threats and Transparency

During the hearing, Noem emphasized the need for prioritized efforts to combat domestic terrorism and antisemitism. She acknowledged the rising incidents and expressed her intent to tackle these issues decisively.
Her commitment extends to acknowledging the rise in antisemitic violence, aiming to work collaboratively to prevent it.

“I’m very concerned about what we’ve seen in this country as far as antisemitic violence that has happened. In fact, last year during our legislative session, I brought legislation to more clearly define it so that we could fight it in our home state.” – Kristi Noem

Noem promises to bolster coordination between DHS and state/local governments, acknowledging issues in current communication mechanisms. Sen. Rick Scott’s concerns about refugee resettlement communication were addressed, with Noem agreeing on the importance of transparent vetting processes.

A Focus on Border Security and Immigration

Noem aims to eliminate the CBP One app, used for faster processing of migrants, while ensuring critical data is retained for tracking entries. Noem identifies the southern border as a primary security threat and intends to secure it against illegal trafficking and immigration.

“Yes, senator, We will eliminate the CBP One app — maintain some of the data that’s in it that’s critical to knowing who’s in our country — but that app will no longer be in use.” – Kristi Noem

If confirmed, her role will be pivotal in executing Trump’s immigration policies, including reversing previous programs and emphasizing deportations. Her past decisions, such as sending the South Dakota National Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border, signify her dedication to secure borders.
