"Her action complicated the case, according to the prosecutor. It had a different upshot for Noem, who is one of Trump's staunchest allies, seeking to bolster her national credibility through a hard-line stance. This controversy regarding her characterization of tribal lands and involvement with illegal immigration speaks volumes about her political maneuvering."
