Trump Nominates SD Gov. Kristi Noem as Homeland Security Secretary
------------------------------------------------------------------

Trump has nominated South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as secretary of
homeland security. Noem supports new oil and gas developments on federal
lands, has refused federal funding for energy efficiency and
environmental programs and infamously sent the South Dakota National
Guard to the U.S.-Mexico border. Last year she signed legislation
banning gender-affirming treatment for young South Dakotans.
