President-elect Donald Trump has reportedly picked pro-Israel South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem to head the Department of Homeland Security.

Earlier this year, Noem boasted about signing the "strongest" hate crime bill in America into law to "stop antisemitism" and "ensure the security of God's chosen people."



Noem also humiliatingly had to admit she lied about having "stared down" North Korean leader Kim Jong Un during a meeting (which never took place).

From CNN, "First on CNN: Trump picks Kristi Noem to serve as his Homeland Security secretary":
President-elect Donald Trump has selected South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem as his next secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, according to two people familiar with the selection.

Noem will be tapped to take over the agency as two key immigration hardliners — Stephen Miller and Tom Homan — are slated to serve in senior roles, signaling Trump is serious about his promise to crack down on his immigration pledges. With his selection of Noem, Trump is ensuring a loyalist will head an agency he prioritizes and that is key to his domestic agenda.

The department saw an immense amount of turmoil the last time Trump was in office. Then, DHS had five different leaders, only two of whom were Senate-confirmed. The agency has a $60 billion budget and hundreds of thousands of employees.

Noem, who previously was a South Dakota representative, will now be tasked with overseeing a sprawling agency that oversees everything from US Customs and Border Protection and Immigration and Customs Enforcement to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the US Secret Service.
The Wall Street Journal and Reuters are reporting the same.

Not even Trump's conservative champions are celebrating this pick.
