Last week, Secretary Noem and senior presidential adviser Stephen Miller held a tense meeting with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) leadership, pressing them to dramatically increase immigrant arrests. While Miller adopted a forceful tone, Noem reportedly took a more measured approach, seeking feedback from ICE leaders about ramping up enforcement. This push comes at a time when the number of people in ICE detention has surged to nearly 49,000, outpacing what Congress has funded, even as border-area deportations have declined due to fewer crossings. Interior removals, however, have risen, a trend the administration credits to stricter enforcement inside the country. These efforts are being further supported by Republican-backed legislation proposing an additional $147 billion in immigration funding over the next decade.
Noem has also faced scrutiny from lawmakers regarding the conduct of ICE at immigration courts, particularly after reports that multiple individuals who appeared for their scheduled hearings in Phoenix were suddenly detained. Lawmakers from Arizona criticized these actions, arguing that detaining non-criminal immigrants who comply with the legal process undermines both transparency and due process, and injects confusion into border communities that have already seen a decrease in illegal crossings since 2024.
In a major policy move, Secretary Noem announced the termination of Temporary Protected Status (TPS) for Afghanistan. After reviewing the situation with interagency partners, she determined that Afghanistan’s improved security and economic conditions no longer met the criteria for TPS. The current designation will expire on May 20, with termination effective July 14. The decision was justified on the grounds that Afghanistan’s stability allows for the safe return of nationals and furthers U.S. national interests. The department noted that some TPS recipients had been under investigation for fraud or public safety threats, reinforcing the administration’s focus on restoring integrity to the immigration system.
Noem’s tenure has also included initiatives beyond immigration. She facilitated the rescission of Romania’s Visa Waiver Program designation, arguing that it aligned with U.S. security interests. Additionally, under her leadership, the Department of Homeland Security dispersed more than $5 million in grant funding to her home state of South Dakota, supporting disaster relief and antiterrorism efforts. There were notable criminal enforcement actions as well, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement lodging detainers against individuals charged with violent crimes in major cities, including New York and Memphis.
A significant international collaboration took place as DHS, under Noem’s guidance, coordinated with Uzbekistan to deport over 100 illegal aliens from Central Asian countries, highlighting a focus on removing individuals with questionable or dangerous backgrounds.
Noem’s upcoming testimony before the House Committee on Homeland Security will spotlight the FY 2026 DHS budget. Lawmakers are expected to press for details on her strategies to bolster border protection, enhance technology, and prepare for international events like the World Cup and Olympics, while also ensuring that the department’s counterterrorism and disaster preparedness mandates are met.
Since her Senate confirmation in January, Noem has positioned herself as a leading figure in the administration’s efforts to enforce existing laws, empower law enforcement, and keep national security and public safety at the forefront of DHS policy planning.
