Kristi Noem Confirmed as Homeland Security Secretary in 59-34 Senate Vote
Jan 25, 2025, 05:01 PM
On Saturday, January 25, 2025, at 11:30 AM ET, the U.S. Senate confirmed South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as the Secretary of Homeland Security with a bipartisan vote of 59-34. Eight Democrats joined Republicans to support her nomination. Noem stated during her confirmation process, 'Our nation is a nation with borders, or we're no nation at all.' She becomes the second woman in history to lead the department and plans to terminate the CBP One mobile app as part of her agenda to strengthen border security and enforce immigration laws in line with President Donald Trump's policies. Senators expressed confidence in her ability to restore order at the southern border and secure the nation. The confirmation was expedited through a rare weekend vote to prioritize filling key cabinet positions.
