Washington, Nov 13: US President-elect Donald Trump reportedly entrusts Krishi Noem to head Homeland and Secret services of the Nation.
Noem who is working as South Dakota Governor is going to control immigration-related agencies with her new assignment. However, there has been no official notification in this connection yet, said US media reports.
Noem’s nomination would complete the trio of positions impacting Trump's high-priority immigration agenda that includes mass deportation of illegal migrants which is considered a major challenge before the nation.
She was reported to have been on Trump's shortlist of Vice President candidates.
If appointed by the Senate, Noem will work with Border Czar Tom Homan and Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller on immigration matters.
Her sprawling department has a broad reach over internal security.
It includes Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which is in charge of deportations; Customs and Border Protection, which deploys border agents, and Citizenship and Immigration Service, which processes applications for immigration and citizenship.
She will also have charge of the Secret Service, which provides VVIP’s security.
The Federal Emergency Management Agency, the Transportation Security Administration, the Coast Guard, and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Agency are also under the department.
Noem held the state's lone House of Representatives seat before she was elected as Governor, the South Dakota.
