On Sunday, she decided to make an appearance at the southern border in Del Rio, Texas and ride with members of the Border Patrol. She rode the front lines like the leader she is, as reported by the New York Post.
This is the same region made infamous several years ago when former Vice President Kamala Harris falsely accused agents of whipping Haitian migrants as a crowd of nearly 14,000 crossed into the US illegally. Remember that big fat lie which was proven to be false?
“The men and women of Border Patrol are ENERGIZED and HAPPY again because they get to do their job. They are able to fulfill their mission to keep America safe,” Noem wrote in an X post Monday.
She also criticized her predecessor, Alejandro Mayorkas, whom she said “rode over the Border Patrol and didn’t let them do their jobs”.
Del Rio had been a hotbed of illegal crossing activity under the Biden administration, regularly seeing 4,000 crossings or more per day in December 2023, when the crisis peaked.
Seems like the women and men who work the border to do a difficult task are happy to come to work again. They know they have in Secretary Noem a person who is not afraid to get dirty, unlike her predecessor who managed the border from his desk in DC, and will ride along with them to do it right.
DHS finally has the leader it has needed since its inception.
