Kristi Noem, recently appointed as the 8th Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, has made significant headlines in the past week as she advances President Donald Trump’s hardline agenda on immigration and domestic security. Noem has emphasized a return to DHS’s core mission, declaring the current period as the dawn of a new Golden Age for American security. Under her stewardship, the department reports that daily border encounters have dropped sharply, with some days seeing fewer than 200 migrant encounters nationwide, a historic low. The department claims a 93 to 95 percent reduction in daily encounters at the southern border since the beginning of the Trump-Noem administration. This drop is attributed to intensified immigration enforcement and a series of new policies aimed at deterring illegal crossings.

One of her most high-profile actions came in the aftermath of a deadly smuggling incident off the coast of Southern California, where at least three Indian nationals died and seven others went missing after a boat carrying undocumented migrants capsized. The two alleged Mexican smugglers detained in the incident face federal charges, and Noem has requested the Department of Justice pursue the death penalty—an exceptionally rare step for such cases. Citing both the Immigration and Naturalization Act and the Federal Death Penalty Act, Noem called for the harshest penalties available, underscoring her zero-tolerance approach to human smuggling.

In addition to law enforcement actions, Noem has targeted what she terms “magnet” policies for illegal immigration. She recently froze all federal funds to nongovernmental organizations that assist undocumented migrants and redirected nearly a billion dollars away from the FEMA grant program to the Disaster Relief Fund, positioning these moves as measures to prioritize American taxpayers and discourage illegal entry. Noem further announced a multimillion-dollar media campaign, domestically and abroad, warning migrants to leave the United States voluntarily or face deportation with no possibility of return.

Noem has also taken aim at sanctuary jurisdictions. On a visit to Illinois, Noem openly challenged Governor JB Pritzker and the state’s TRUST Act, which limits local law enforcement cooperation with federal immigration authorities. Speaking alongside families who lost loved ones to crimes allegedly committed by undocumented immigrants, she castigated sanctuary policies as threats to public safety and demanded local leaders “put Americans first.”

Testifying before Congress this week, Noem defended the administration’s approach, highlighting the dramatic drop in fentanyl seizures—down 54 percent over the past year—and her efforts to reform emergency preparedness through FEMA. She also addressed concerns about the REAL ID deadline and emphasized ongoing reforms to the Secret Service in the wake of an assassination attempt on President Trump last year. Throughout her testimony, Noem insisted that the department must remain accountable to taxpayers by using resources efficiently while providing frontline personnel with the necessary training and equipment.

As she settles into her new role, Kristi Noem continues to make clear that her tenure will be marked by stricter enforcement, sweeping administrative changes, and a strong emphasis on national security over leniency in immigration policy. Her actions signal an assertive approach to the department’s mission, ensuring that DHS remains at the forefront of President Trump’s efforts to secure America’s borders and protect its citizens.
