Secretary Noem announces the construction of 7 new miles of border wall
WASHINGTON — Kristi Noem is going to the ends of the earth for the staffers at the Department of Homeland Security. President Trump’s DHS Secretary co-piloted a C-130 surveillance plane on Monday during a visit to US Coast Guard service members stationed in Air Station Kodiak in Alaska .
Noem said the visit was intended to greet and support the service members who serve more than 1,300 miles from the continental US. “Got the chance to fly a C-130 out of our US Coast Guard base in Kodiak, Alaska. Air Station Kodiak is essential to our mission success for reconnaissance and search & rescue in Alaska and the Arctic,” Noem said in a statement to The Post.Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem flies an HC-130J aircraft during an aerial tour from US Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak, Monday, March 17, 2025, in Alaska.Iconic pet reindeer in Alaska falls mysteriously ill after someone tampers in his penThe former South Dakota governor has kicked off her first days in office by traveling the country and speaking to DHS personnel about implementing border security.The Arctic — which the Coast Guard’s Alaska district patrols — has been a special focus of Trump in his second-term foreign policy agenda, with the president threatening to take over Greenland and Canada for national security and economic reasons.Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, right, greets members of the US Coast Guard before taking an aerial tour on an HC-130J aircraft at US Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak.In October, coast guardsmen out of Alaska encountered Russian and Chinese ships conducting a joint patrol, indicating the foreign countries continue to have a presence in the waters near the region. “This recent activity demonstrates the increased interest in the Arctic by our strategic competitors,” Rear Adm. Megan Dean, commander of the 17th Coast Guard District, said at the time. “The demand for Coast Guard services across the region continues to grow, requiring continuous investment in our capabilities to meet our strategic competitors’ presence and fulfill our statutory missions across an expanding operational area.”Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem speaks as she tours US Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak, Monday, March 17, 2025, in Kodiak, Alaska.Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, center, has breakfast with members of the US Coast Guard at US Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak, Monday, March 17, 2025, in Kodiak, Alaska.Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, seventh from left, poses for a photo with members of the US Coast Guard before taking an aerial tour on an HC-130J aircraft at US Coast Guard Air Station Kodiak, Monday, March 17, 2025, in Kodiak, Alaska.In addition to patrolling and securing US territorial waters, the Coast Guard, one of the bodies under DHS authority, has been specifically told by the administration to focus on immigration enforcement.“Immigration enforcement is a core mission for the US Coast Guard.
