Kristi Noem, recently appointed as Secretary of Homeland Security, has been at the center of several major developments over the past few days, highlighting both her leadership style and policy priorities. In a notable incident, her purse was stolen while she dined with family at a Washington, D.C. restaurant. The theft, which occurred on April 20, involved two suspects who were later arrested and identified as undocumented migrants with a history of similar crimes. Noem stated she was “very confident” about their undocumented status and emphasized that the event underscored broader concerns about public safety and the need for decisive immigration enforcement, rather than seeing herself as a specific target. Sensitive items in her stolen bag included her driver’s license, passport, a DHS access badge, and several thousand dollars in cash. The Department of Justice confirmed that charges of wire fraud, identity theft, and robbery had been brought against at least one suspect, and immigration authorities have placed detainers on both individuals.

Simultaneously, Noem has been actively promoting the administration’s border policy achievements. Speaking from the U.S.-Mexico border, she highlighted what she described as a “night and day difference” at the border compared to a year ago. Border Patrol statistics support her claims, with illegal border crossings in March reported as the lowest ever recorded and daily border encounters reportedly down by 93% in less than 100 days since the new administration took office. Noem credits the sharp decline to the Trump administration’s hardline stance on illegal immigration and a series of executive actions, asserting that the perception of stronger enforcement has deterred many would-be migrants.

During a visit to El Paso, Texas, Noem met with border patrol agents and spotlighted the message that illegal entry would not be tolerated. She highlighted a staggering 99.99% decrease in migrant crossings at the Darien Gap, framing these results as evidence that stringent messaging and policy have had immediate and dramatic effects on migration flows.

Noem’s tenure has also seen policy moves beyond border security. She recently terminated over $2.7 million in Department of Homeland Security grants awarded to Harvard University, citing concerns over campus antisemitism and accusing the institution of failing to uphold American values. Noem demanded Harvard supply detailed records on foreign student visa holders involved in illegal or violent activities or risk losing certification to enroll international students. These actions align with the broader administration posture toward campus unrest and reflect a willingness to leverage federal funding to enforce policy compliance.

In her first months, Noem has implemented several administrative changes, including rescinding the temporary protected status extension for Haiti and deputizing hundreds of State Department security agents to aid immigration enforcement. These moves reflect her commitment to the administration’s mandate to tighten the U.S. immigration system and strengthen domestic security measures. Her approach has garnered support among those seeking stricter border control, though civil liberties advocates have voiced concerns about potential overreach and the effects on community relations near the border.

Noem’s confirmation by the Senate in January further solidified her as a key figure in the Trump administration’s efforts to reshape the Department of Homeland Security and prioritize enforcement, border control, and institutional accountability.
