As Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem has made several significant announcements in recent days. On May 2, 2025, her department disbursed over $5.3 million in grant funding to the State of South Dakota. These funds will support disaster relief efforts, antiterrorism initiatives, and other critical security imperatives. The grant money will help South Dakota rebuild infrastructure damaged by last year's severe storms and flooding, repair roads and utility lines, and provide backup generators.

Noem emphasized that this funding represents what the federal government should be doing: supporting states while allowing them to take the lead in providing for their own security. She noted that the grants were resumed after DHS conducted a thorough review of its spending to fulfill President Trump's mandate to maximize efficiency and transparency.

In immigration policy news, on May 5, 2025, DHS announced a historic travel assistance and stipend program for voluntary self-deportation. Additionally, the Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to intervene in its bid to end Temporary Protected Status for Venezuelans. Secretary Noem had previously revoked one of two TPS designations for Venezuelans in February, finding the extension "contrary to the national interest." This decision was temporarily blocked by a federal judge, with the 9th Circuit Court declining to pause that order.

On May 1, 2025, Noem participated in an exclusive interview with CBS Mornings co-host Tony Dokoupil. The wide-ranging conversation covered topics including deportations involving children who are U.S. citizens, as well as personal matters such as the theft of her purse.

In April, Secretary Noem took decisive action against Harvard University, terminating $2.7 million in DHS grants and demanding detailed records on foreign student visa holders by April 30, 2025. She criticized Harvard's leadership as "spineless" and accused the institution of "bending the knee to antisemitism." Noem warned that failure to comply with reporting requirements could result in Harvard losing its certification to enroll foreign students.

Today, May 6, 2025, Secretary Noem is scheduled to participate in an oversight hearing before the House Appropriations Committee regarding the Department of Homeland Security. This hearing represents an opportunity for congressional oversight of DHS operations and policies under Noem's leadership.

Noem, who was sworn in as Secretary on January 25, 2025, by Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, leads the third-largest department in the U.S. government with a workforce of 260,000 employees across 22 components, including TSA, Customs and Border Protection, and FEMA.
