Donald Trump, President-elect of the United States, has selected South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem to lead the Department of Homeland Security.

The choice of Noem, who was previously considered a vice-presidential candidate, indicates Trump’s intention to toughen his stance on illegal immigration.

With this nomination, the Republican leader ensures that a loyal individual will head a key agency for his political agenda, according to reports.

The future Secretary of Homeland Security will take control of a broad agency that oversees Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, FEMA, and the Secret Service.

CNN recalls that Noem was initially close to Trump, but their relationship became strained after the publication of her book «No Going Back,» in which she questions aspects of current policy.

In her book, Noem recounts an anecdote where she sacrificed her 14-month-old pointer, Cricket, whom she considered «impossible to train» for hunting.

According to media, this story aims to illustrate her ability to make tough decisions, even in unpleasant situations.

Recently, on the social network X, Kristi Noem emphasized the importance of reducing government spending and focusing on the basic functions of government.
