Trump’s administration is rapidly taking shape.
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.
