- Securing the U.S.-Mexico border
- Enforcing immigration laws
- Combating terrorism
- Protecting critical infrastructure
- Responding to natural disasters
Noem is likely to take a hard line on immigration, and she is expected to continue Trump's efforts to build a wall on the U.S.-Mexico border.
Noem is also expected to focus on combating terrorism. She has been a strong supporter of Trump's travel ban on citizens from several Muslim-majority countries.
