U.S. Senator Mike Crapo of Idaho has expressed his support for Kristi Noem following her confirmation as Secretary of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. The Senate confirmed Noem with a vote of 59-34.

Crapo released a statement addressing the challenges at the southern border, attributing them to "the previous Administration’s open-border policies." He stated that these policies have led to "record numbers of illegal crossings in the last four-year span." According to Crapo, addressing illegal immigration is a priority for many Americans, including those in Idaho.

In his statement, Crapo praised Noem's leadership skills and her commitment to resolving issues at the U.S.-Mexico border. He believes she will effectively manage DHS functions to enhance public security and address national threats. Additionally, he noted her ability to provide disaster assistance efficiently.
