"Thank you @POTUS Trump for appointing me as the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas. @SecRubio and @SecWar are incredible leaders and I look forward to working with them closely to dismantle cartels that have poured drugs into our nation and killed our children and grandchildren."
"We have made historic accomplishments at the Department of Homeland Security to make America safe again: we delivered the MOST secure border in American history, 3 million illegal aliens have left the U.S., we have located 145,000 children, FEMA delivered disaster relief at a 100% faster rate, we ushered in the golden age of travel, saved the American taxpayer $13 billion."
"The Western Hemisphere is absolutely critical for U.S. security. In this new role, I will be able to build on the partnerships and national security expertise I forged over the last 13 months as Secretary of Homeland Security."
Kristi Noem announced her departure from the Department of Homeland Security and transition to a new role as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas. President Trump appointed her to lead this new Western Hemisphere security initiative after reportedly being dissatisfied with her congressional testimony. Sen. Markwayne Mullin replaced her as DHS Secretary. Noem highlighted accomplishments during her 13-month tenure, including securing the border, facilitating the departure of 3 million undocumented immigrants, locating 145,000 children, accelerating FEMA disaster relief, and saving taxpayers $13 billion. She expressed commitment to working with other cabinet officials to dismantle drug cartels and strengthen regional security partnerships.
