Over the past few days, Kristi Noem, as Secretary of Homeland Security, has been at the center of several high-profile policy moves and controversies. Her leadership is firmly aligned with President Trump’s administration, taking a hardline approach to both immigration and cybersecurity.

One of the most attention-grabbing recent decisions involves Noem’s outspoken commitment to refocusing the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) on its foundational mission. Speaking at the annual RSAC Conference in San Francisco, she criticized the agency for extending beyond its core responsibilities and promised to guide it back to its original focus, especially in light of concerns about job cuts and resignations at CISA. Noem highlighted the increasing threat posed by Chinese hackers targeting vulnerable American organizations and stated that DHS will push for stronger, secure-by-design technology through federal procurement practices, continuing some initiatives from the previous administration. Despite broader policy changes, Noem indicated an intention to work collaboratively with critical infrastructure sectors on nationwide cybersecurity resilience.

Immigration enforcement under Noem has drawn national attention and legal scrutiny. In an interview at the U.S.-Mexico border, she defended the recent deportation of a two-year-old American citizen to Honduras, asserting that the child’s mother wanted her daughter with her after being deported, despite alarm raised by a federal judge about the lack of due process. Noem stood by the Trump administration’s aggressive strategies, touting a sharp decline in illegal border crossings while insisting that removals target the most serious offenders. Still, this hardline stance has come under fire from legal advocates and members of Congress, particularly regarding recent moves to outsource immigration detention to facilities abroad, such as the controversial transfer of detainees to El Salvador’s Centro de Confinamiento del Terrorismo. Members of the House Judiciary Committee have accused the administration of undermining due process protections and international treaties in its rapid deportation efforts.

Noem also announced the relaunch of the Victims of Immigration Crime Engagement (VOICE) office, intended to support Americans impacted by crimes committed by undocumented immigrants. The office, previously shuttered, will provide resources, information, and support to families affected by crimes with an immigration nexus, delivering on a Trump campaign promise to prioritize the interests of American victims.

Further reinforcing the administration’s tough posture, Noem declared that DHS will strictly enforce the Immigration and Nationality Act, compelling undocumented immigrants to self-deport by using every available legal tool, including criminal penalties for failing to depart or register with the government. This is supported by a national and international media campaign urging unauthorized immigrants to leave the country voluntarily.

Noem’s tenure as Secretary of Homeland Security began in January, after a decisive Senate confirmation. Her track record as South Dakota’s governor and her alignment with the Trump administration set the tone for a period defined by assertive enforcement, controversial deportations, and a determination to reshape federal agencies around her administration’s priorities. The next weeks will likely bring further debate and legal battles as Noem’s department continues to implement its agenda on immigration and national security.
