He pointed to &#8220;bipartisan solutions to fix the mess at our border,&#8221; adding that Noem &#8220;seems headed in the wrong direction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The homeland security secretary oversees U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Citizenship and Immigration Services. Beyond those agencies, the department is also responsible for securing airline transportation, protecting dignitaries, responding to natural disasters and more.<\/p>\n<p>Trump is planning major changes to how the department functions, including involving the military in immigration enforcement and reshaping the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Those plans could immediately put Noem in the spotlight after the new president visited recent disaster sites in North Carolina and California on Friday.<\/p>\n<p>During her Senate hearing, Noem was repeatedly asked by Democratic senators whether she would administer disaster aid to states even if Trump asked her not to.<\/p>\n<p>Noem avoided saying she would defy the president, but she told lawmakers, &#8220;I will deliver the programs according to the law and that it will be done with no political bias.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Six people cycled through as homeland security secretary during Trump&#8217;s first four years in office.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-video embed--type-content_video is-video embed--float-left embed--size-medium \"><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/video\/trump-visits-north-carolina-california-disaster-zones-talks-about-dismantling-fema\/\" class=\"embed__headline-link\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__icon\"><br \/>\n            <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><use xlink:href=\"#icon-video\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__headline\">Trump visits North Carolina, California disaster zones; talks about dismantling FEMA<\/span><\/p>\n<p>          <span class=\"embed__video-duration\">03:14<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                      <\/a><\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Noem, who held her state&#8217;s lone U.S. House seat for eight years before becoming governor in 2019, has risen in the GOP by tacking closely with Trump. At one point, she was even under consideration to be his running mate.<\/p>\n<p>Her political stock took a momentary dip, however, when she released a book last year containing an account of her killing her hunting dog, as well as a false claim that she once met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un.<\/p>\n<p>If confirmed, she would be tasked with delivering on Trump&#8217;s favorite issue, border security. The president&#8217;s goals of deporting millions of people who entered the country illegally could put Noem, with her experience governing a rural state and growing up on a farm, in a difficult position. In South Dakota, many migrants, some in the country without permanent legal status, power the labor-heavy jobs that produce food and housing.<\/p>\n<p>She has so far pledged to faithfully execute the president&#8217;s orders and copied his talk of an &#8220;invasion&#8221; at the U.S. border with Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Noem joined other Republican governors who sent National Guard troops to Texas to assist Operation Lone Star, which sought to discourage migrants. Her decision was especially criticized because she accepted a $1 million donation from a Tennessee billionaire to cover some of the deployment cost.<\/p>\n<p>Noem said she opted to send National Guard troops &#8220;because of this invasion,&#8221; adding that &#8220;it is a war zone down there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"queryly\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list
