Kristi Noem

"Within just an hour or two after the flooding, we had resources from @DHSgov there helping those individuals in Texas," says @Sec_Noem. "This is the fastest, I believe, in years, maybe decades, that FEMA has been deployed to help individuals in this type of a situation."

Wonderful to meet with Rabbi Mendel Alperowitz, his wonderful wife Mussie, Rabbi Levi Shemtov, Stephen Rosenthal, and Carol Rosenthal. As the American Jewish community faces a generational rise in antisemitism and hate crimes, we stand with the American Jewish community and will…

Congratulations to @CBPCommissioner Rodney S. Scott, who has officially taken the oath of office as Commissioner of U.S. Customs and Border Protection. It was my great honor to swear him in today. Commissioner Scott began his career with the U.S. Border Patrol 29 years ago at…

The evil of human trafficking cannot be overstated. It’s modern day slavery. By leaving our borders open and even encouraging people to come here illegally, Biden enabled the largest human-trafficking operation in modern history.   We have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to…

Make no mistake: a criminal illegal alien pulled the trigger, but Mayor @ericadamsfornyc and the sanctuary politicians in this country like him have blood on their hands.   I am calling on sanctuary politicians at every level of government to abandon these reckless, lawless…

It was an honor to have dinner with @SenKatieBritt, Chair of the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Homeland Security. We discussed how we can best work together to protect our homeland, essential infrastructure, and keep the most secure border in American history.

It was an honor to host the Foreign Minister of Belize, Francis Fonseca. Today, our two nations signed a Memorandum of Cooperation on Enhancing Border Security and Public Safety Cooperation. Through information sharing, our partnership will combat combat illegal migration and…

We will NEVER tolerate violence against our officers. "We've seen violence against our officers go up over 830% just in recent days because of the rhetoric out of politicians... I would call on everybody today to recognize what can happen — how in one moment, someone's life can…

I am enormously grateful to God that this @CBP officer is still with us today. His quick action speaks to the tenacity and excellence of our CBP and federal law enforcement officers. This incident should have NEVER happened. The perpetrator should have NEVER been here in the…

The second suspect involved in the shooting of @CBP agent was caught by @ICEGov early this morning. Christhian Aybar-Berroa, is an illegal from the Dominican Republic. He entered the country illegally in 2022 under the Biden Administration and was ordered for final removed in…

HAPPENING NOW: @Sec_Noem delivers an update following the July 19 shooting of an off-duty CBP officer. Secretary Noem will be joined by federal and local law enforcement partners. dhs.gov/live

I am actively engaged and monitoring the Earth Quake in Sand Point, Alaska. Residents and tourists have evacuated and no injuries have been reported. We will continue to share updates and information.

Just in: our brave @ICEGov law enforcement are now facing a 830% INCREASE in assault against them. This new data reflects the violence against our law enforcement in cities across the country in the last few weeks. Politicians across the country, regardless of political stripe,…

We remain laser focused in our work with Governor Abbott and local Texas leaders to support Americans impacted by the tragic flooding. The immediate disaster response was swift and efficient. DHS assets, including the U.S. Coast Guard, Border Patrol, and FEMA personnel surged…

.@Sec_Noem dispels Fake News over the federal government's response to the devastating Texas flooding: "This criticism I think is all politics because I was there... and every time somebody asked for something, we said, 'Absolutely. It will be here as soon as possible.'"

.@Sec_Noem torches critics: "During the Biden Admin ... they were piling people on top of each other on cement floors and literally didn't have two feet to move." "These centers are at the highest levels and they're even higher than what our federal prison standards are."

.@Sec_Noem on a Los Angeles judge temporarily blocking "indiscriminate" ICE operations: "We've never done that. What we have always done is build a case and done investigative work in who we go after and who we target."

Our ICE officers risk their lives every day to protect Americans. They have our backs—Thank you President @realDonaldTrump for having THEIR backs!
