South Dakota leaders praise Gov. Kristi Noem's confirmation as Homeland Security secretary

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, confirmed by the U.S. Senate on Saturday as President Donald Trump's secretary of homeland security, reacted to the vote on X, formerly known as Twitter, by thanking Trump for the nomination and saying she would "work to make America SAFE again!" South Dakota's Republican legislative leaders took to social media Saturday to express their congratulations to Noem, South Dakota's first female governor, who is expected to push Trump's campaign promise to deport unauthorized immigrants en masse and restrict immigration through the U.S.-Mexico border.
65% : "I know she's ready to get to work for President Trump and the American people," Thune wrote in a posting on X. U.S. Rep. Dusty Johnson, South Dakota's lone congressman, also welcomed the result.
