Noem made headlines during a visit to Springfield, Illinois, where she criticized Governor JB Pritzker and Illinois’ sanctuary state policies. Illinois follows the TRUST Act, which prohibits local law enforcement from detaining individuals solely based on immigration status unless a federal judge issues a warrant. Noem called out these policies during a press conference held near the home of Emma Shafer, a progressive activist who was murdered in 2023. Noem claimed that Shafer’s death, allegedly caused by her partner, a Mexican national, was an example of the dangers posed by undocumented immigrants. She lamented the lack of cooperation from local authorities, suggesting their policies restricted federal access to key information about the suspect, who remains at large and may have fled the country.
Noem’s remarks ignited controversy, especially from Shafer’s family and local activists. Family members emphasized Shafer’s legacy as a community activist and objected to her memory being used in a political context without their consent. They publicly protested Noem’s appearance and criticized the politicization of their loss. When directly questioned about reaching out to Shafer’s family, Noem stated her team had tried but had not received a response, unaware that family members were protesting her presence across town.
The visit was characterized by some local observers as a publicity move designed to promote federal immigration enforcement and highlight the differences between Republican and Democratic approaches to immigration. During her two-hour stay, Noem also visited a Department of Homeland Security office and briefly met with individuals in the process of deportation.
In another major move this week, Noem announced that the Department of Homeland Security would request the Department of Justice to seek the death penalty for two Mexican nationals accused of operating a human smuggling ring off the coast of southern California. Their alleged actions resulted in the deaths of at least three people, with seven more still missing after a boat carrying undocumented migrants capsized. Noem justified the request by citing a thorough review of the Immigration and Naturalization Act and the Federal Death Penalty Act. She commended the immediate response by federal and local agencies, emphasizing her commitment to upholding the law and protecting lives.
Noem has framed her first 100 days as Secretary as a period of unprecedented border security. Under her leadership, the Department claims significant reductions in border crossings and a sharp drop in migration through key corridors like Panama’s Darien Gap. She has implemented high-profile ad campaigns warning illegal immigrants to leave the U.S. voluntarily and cut federal funding to organizations aiding undocumented migrants. She also ended collective bargaining for TSA officers and redirected nearly a billion dollars from FEMA grants to the Disaster Relief Fund, positioning these decisions as efforts to refocus on national security.
Noem’s actions and rhetoric continue to spark debate over the direction of immigration enforcement in the United States, the role of federal versus state authority, and the use of personal tragedies in policy discussions. Her tenure as Secretary of Homeland Security is marked by assertive policy decisions and a willingness to engage in direct confrontation with state leaders and critics.
