U.S. Senator John Cornyn has expressed his support following the confirmation of South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS). In a statement, Cornyn highlighted the significance of border security issues faced by Texas and praised Noem’s previous actions in addressing these challenges.
Cornyn stated, “Texas is on the front lines of the border crisis, but Governor Noem knows all too well that every state became a border state under the failed Biden-Harris-Mayorkas administration.” He acknowledged Noem’s efforts in sending reinforcements to Texas to aid in securing the border, emphasizing her alignment with former President Trump’s border policies.
The senator expressed optimism about collaborating with Noem in her new role at DHS. “I look forward to working with Governor Noem in her new capacity to finally secure our southern border and put an end to this crisis that has wreaked havoc on the Lone Star State,” he said.
No further details were provided regarding specific plans or strategies that will be implemented under Noem’s leadership at DHS.
