DHS nominee Kristi Noem said on Friday that she will end the use of the CBP One app on 'day one' of the Trump administration

South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for Department of Homeland Security secretary, vowed Friday to immediately halt the mobile app that lets migrants register to enter the US.

President-elect Donald Trump's choice for Homeland Security secretary portrayed illegal immigration as an "invasion" and the U.S.-Mexico border as a "war zone" during a U.S. Senate confirmation on Friday where she pledged to back Trump's hard line on immigration.

Kristi Noem made numerous promising pledges during her confirmation hearing on Friday, not the least of which was her vow to eliminate a tool illegal aliens have […]

Kristi Noem, President-elect Donald Trump's nominee to lead the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), vowed at her Senate confirmation hearing to lead a crackdown on immigration by securing the "war zone" at the US-Mexico border and deporting unauthorised migrants.

Noem's role as Homeland Security secretary is expected to be more limited in scope than her predecessors’, sources familiar with the Trump transition tell NBC News.

Kristi Noem, nominee for U.S. Secretary of Homeland Security, plans an immigration crackdown similar to Donald Trump’s policies. She aims to reinstate the 'remain in Mexico' program and shut down CBP One.

But another major issue Noem plans to tackle is cybersecurity infrastructure, including reigning in the recent anti-misinformation efforts by the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA), which she says is a deviation from its core mission and an endangerment to Americans’ civil liberties.

Ahead of the inauguration, migrant shelters south of the Rio Grande are far from full, a reflection of the tougher measures imposed on both sides of the border.

In December, the number of migrant encounters by Border Patrol along the Southwest border dropped to about 47,300 — the lowest since August 2020

The incoming Trump administration wants to start arresting illegal immigrants across the US as soon as Tuesday, amid the promise of a mass deportation operation.
