Funkcjonariusz administracji Trumpa zabił psa, uzasadniając to brakiem zdolności do tresury

Kristi Noem, a former governor of South Dakota, has been appointed as the new head of the Department of Homeland Security in the United States. Noem, known for her alignment with Trump’s views on immigration, has referred to illegal immigration as an „invasion.” Her nomination was approved by a vote of 59 senators, with 34 voting against, according to Reuters.

„I thank President Trump for his trust; I will strive to make America safe again,” Noem wrote on social media following her confirmation by the Senate.

Controversies surround Noem, making her one of the more intriguing and divisive figures in the new American administration. As governor, she imposed a ban on entering parts of Native American lands in South Dakota. In January 2024, she claimed that the residents of these areas were being recruited by drug cartels and that the entire community benefited from cartel activities. Noem believes this explains the hostility these groups have towards her.

Noem is also an avid hunter and wanted to train her dog for hunting purposes. In her autobiography, she confessed to shooting the dog. Why? The 14-month-old pointer named Cricket was allegedly attacking family members and other animals on the Noem farm. The governor stated that the dog was „untrainable” and that she „hated him.” This admission sparked widespread outrage and likely cost Noem any chance of becoming vice president. Although Trump defended his colleague, calling her „great” and „loyal,” his team may have deemed Noem’s confession too much of a liability.

In her new role as head of the Department of Homeland Security, Noem will oversee border security, deportations, and legal immigration documentation. She will also be responsible for crisis response, cybersecurity, the Coast Guard, and the Secret Service, with a team of 260,000 individuals under her command.

Noem’s appointment to this crucial position raises questions about her past controversies and actions, as well as the implications for national security under her leadership. Critics are concerned about her views on immigration and her handling of sensitive issues such as Native American relations and animal welfare. Supporters believe that her strong stance on security and law enforcement will benefit the country in confronting challenges both at home and abroad. Only time will tell how Noem’s tenure at the Department of Homeland Security unfolds and what impact it will have on American security and immigration policies.
