U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem visited Israel on May 25-26, 2025, following a terrorist attack in Washington, D.C. that killed two Israeli Embassy staff members. The victims, identified as Israeli citizen Yaron Lischinsky and American Sarah Milgrim, were described as a young couple about to be engaged. According to the Israeli ambassador to the U.S., Yechiel Leiter, they were dedicated to promoting peace and bridging cultural divides. The suspect reportedly told police he committed the attack "for Palestine" and due to the war in Gaza.

During her visit to Israel, Secretary Noem met with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and visited the Western Wall in Jerusalem. Her trip also included a meeting with the Israeli Minister of Foreign Affairs. Prior to arriving in Israel, Noem visited Bahrain, where she toured a naval base, met with coast guard personnel, and held a meeting with the country's king.

In other recent developments, on May 12, 2025, Secretary Noem announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Afghanistan. The current TPS designation expires on May 20, 2025, with the termination becoming effective on July 14, 2025. Noem stated that the decision came after consultation with interagency partners and a review of conditions in Afghanistan. She determined that improved security and economic situations in Afghanistan no longer necessitate TPS protection for Afghan nationals in the United States. Noem emphasized that this action aligns with her goal of returning TPS to its "original temporary intent" and restoring integrity to the immigration system.

Looking ahead, Noem is scheduled to testify before the House Committee on Homeland Security on May 14, 2025, regarding the Department's Fiscal Year 2026 budget request. Committee Chairman Mark E. Green praised Noem's early efforts at border security, stating that Americans have witnessed "a complete reversal of the historic public safety, national security, and humanitarian crisis at our borders" in the first 100 days of the Trump administration.

Noem was confirmed as the 8th Secretary of Homeland Security on January 25, 2025, in a Senate vote of 59-34. Before her appointment, she served as South Dakota's 33rd Governor and first female governor. Her previous experience includes service in the South Dakota legislature and as the state's sole member of the U.S. House of Representatives. Upon her confirmation, Noem identified securing the southern border and fixing the immigration system as top priorities for her tenure.
