Noem Faces Border Criticism

Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security Secretary, faces criticism for border wall delays under the Trump administration.
Only 30 miles of the planned 2,000 miles have been completed since U.S. President Donald Trump’s second term began in 2025.
A memo shows 200 miles of contracts await Noem's signature, contradicting Department of Homeland Security (DHS) spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin's claim that none are pending.
Republican lawmakers are calling for her resignation.
