President-elect Donald Trump has picked South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem to serve as the next secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, CNN reported, citing two sources familiar with the decision.
Noem, who is currently serving her second four-year term as South Dakota’s governor, will be tasked to oversee an agency that is responsible for border protection and immigration, disaster response and the U.S. Secret Service.
It comes after Trump announced that two immigration hard-liners will serve in his incoming administration after he promised during his campaign to mount the largest deportation operation in the nation’s history.
He has selected longtime adviser Stephen Miller to be the deputy chief of policy in his new administration and Tom Homan, his former acting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement director, as his “border czar.”

Noem was said to be among the contenders on Trump’s list for vice president, but that reportedly changed after she faced backlash from both sides of the political aisle earlier this year over revelations she made in her book, No Going Back: The Truth on What’s Wrong With Politics And How We Move America Forward.
In the book, she wrote that she shot to death her family’s 14-month-old wirehair pointer, Cricket, that she was training for pheasant hunting. She wrote that she had included the anecdote to illustrate her willingness to do anything “difficult, messy and ugly” if it has to be done.
