In letters to Sen. Rand Paul, these groups have highlighted Noem’s leadership qualities, emphasizing her ability to restore justice and address the immigration challenges left behind by the previous administration.
Police Organizations Call for Swift Confirmation
At least eight police groups and unions, including the National Fraternal Order of Police and the International Union of Police Associations, have endorsed Noem, urging the Senate to confirm her without delay. They believe that Noem’s appointment is crucial in combatting the immigration crisis along the southern border, curbing the influx of dangerous narcotics, and cracking down on crime.

The National Border Patrol Council, representing about 18,000 Border Patrol agents, has also voiced its support for Noem. The union praised her track record of getting things done, citing her deployment of National Guard personnel to support Texas’ “Operation Lone Star” to tackle the immigration crisis. Noem’s proactive approach to border security has garnered widespread acclaim among law enforcement agencies.
Noem’s Strong Stance on National Security
Governor Noem’s commitment to securing the border and protecting American interests has resonated with various law enforcement groups. Her efforts to deploy National Guard troops to the southern border and her advocacy for stringent border control measures have earned her praise from organizations like the Fraternal Order of Police, who look forward to collaborating with her to enhance national security.
As Noem navigates the confirmation process and prepares to assume the role of DHS chief, her unwavering dedication to safeguarding the nation’s borders continues to garner support from law enforcement entities nationwide. The backing of these organizations underscores the confidence in Noem’s ability to lead the DHS effectively and address the pressing challenges facing the country’s security infrastructure.
