Kristi Noem, a homeland security chief hopeful, banned in parts of her state
Briefly

"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."
"Wayne Ducheneaux, a former tribal council representative, calls the ban, ‘a very telling action... at the core goes to Governor Noem's disregard for tribal sovereignty and a lack of understanding about how borders work.’ This sentiment may reflect broader concerns about her capacity to manage federal responsibilities in her upcoming role, especially concerning the relationships with Native American communities."
