このコンテンツについて
Noem's tenure has sparked heated exchanges and criticism on Capitol Hill. During a Senate Appropriations Committee hearing, she faced tough questioning from Democrats regarding whether the government would facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia to the United States, as mandated by a Supreme Court decision. Noem asserted that her department is following court orders but did not commit to compliance, instead highlighting concerns about advocacy for someone she labeled a known terrorist. This exchange underscored broader tensions over transparency and legal compliance within the Department of Homeland Security under her leadership.
Her fiscal stewardship has also come under intense scrutiny. Senator Chris Murphy publicly accused Noem of reckless and potentially illegal overspending, warning that her prioritization of border security at the expense of cybersecurity and disaster prevention could leave the U.S. vulnerable to cyberattacks and natural disasters. Murphy cautioned that the department risks violating the Anti-Deficiency Act by spending beyond its congressional allocation, which he said could bankrupt DHS two months before the end of the fiscal year and compromise national security across multiple domains.
Noem has also touted the achievements of her first 100 days in office, claiming historic reductions in illegal border crossings and launching high-profile advertising campaigns urging undocumented immigrants to leave the country voluntarily or face deportation without the possibility of return. She credits the Trump administration’s policies for a 95 percent drop in daily border encounters and a dramatic decrease in migration through key routes.
Internationally, Noem has engaged in bilateral meetings with leaders in Europe and the Middle East to advance U.S. homeland security interests and recently spoke at CPAC 2025 in Poland, reflecting her administration's emphasis on global partnerships to bolster domestic security.
Her confrontational leadership style has provoked strong rebukes from Democrats, who allege that under her watch, the department is breaking laws, diminishing public safety, and undermining institutional integrity. These criticisms were punctuated by a contentious House Homeland Security Committee hearing where Noem was accused of prioritizing political image over effective policy and oversight, particularly in the wake of an incident involving members of Congress and law enforcement at an ICE detention center in New Jersey.
The cumulative effect of Noem’s policy decisions and public statements has placed her at the center of heated debates over immigration, national security, government spending, and the statutory role of DHS, making her one of the most visible and polarizing figures in the current administration.
