Native tribe lifts banishment on Noem ahead of Senate confirmation hearing
A Native American tribe in South Dakota lifted its banishment on Republican Gov. Kristi Noem in a letter Wednesday, offering its endorsement of her nomination to serve as secretary of Homeland Security, Fox News Digital has learned.
Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe President Tony Reider wrote a letter to Noem Wednesday informing her the tribe’s executive committee voted to “remove the banishment” it placed on Noem in May and congratulated her for her nomination to serve in President-elect Trump’s cabinet.
The letter comes just days before Noem is scheduled to appear before the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee for her confirmation hearing.
“I commend you on your nomination by President Elect Donald Trump to the position of Secretary of U.S. Department of Homeland Security, and hereby support your nomination. I wish you the best of luck during the Senate confirmation hearing on January 17, 2025, and believe that your dedication to the safety and security of the United States will benefit us all,” Reider’s letter states, according to a copy obtained by Fox News Digital.

All nine native tribes in South Dakota banned Noem from their reservations last year after outrage over her suggestion that tribal leaders benefit from cartels and the immigration crisis and comments regarding native children’s futures. The Flandreau Santee Sioux Tribe was the last tribe to ban her.

“Their kids don’t have any hope. They don’t have parents who show up and help them. They have a tribal council or a president who focuses on a political agenda more than they care about actually helping somebody’s life look better,” Noem said last year in a comment that drew criticism from tribes.
Reider addressed the issue in his letter to Noem Wednesday, explaining that the governor has apologized for her previous remarks and explained her commentary.

“One of the stipulations contained in the banishment resolution was that you apologize for the comments that were made regarding tribal members and the education of tribal member children which were deemed offensive by some. In several meetings before and after the resolution was passed, you not only explained your position, but apologized if the comments offended the Tribe. You additionally sought advice on how to phrase such communications moving forward, which the Tribe and I appreciated,” Reider wrote.

The letter comes as Noem prepares for her Senate confirmation hearing Friday morning.
Trump announced Noem as his pick to lead DHS shortly after his decisive win over Kamala Harris, citing the Republican governor’s efforts to secure the southern border, which has been overwhelmed by illegal crossings under the Biden administration.

In the months since her nomination, Noem has picked up endorsements from at least eight police groups or unions, including a union that represents thousands of Border Patrol agents.
Republican Louisiana Gov. Jeff Landry also called on Senate lawmakers, most notably Democrats, to swiftly confirm Noem after a terrorist attack that shook New Orleans on New Year’s Day.
The International Association of Fire Fighters, a large, historically Democratic firefighter union, also recently endorsed Noem, arguing during the raging wildfires in Los Angeles she “understands emergency management and the importance of government response to emergencies both natural and man-made.”
The Native tribe of the Lower Brule Sioux has officially lifted their banishment on Governor Kristi Noem, just days before her Senate confirmation hearing for a cabinet position in the Biden administration.The banishment, which was put in place in 2020, was a response to Governor Noem’s controversial handling of tribal sovereignty issues and her support for the Keystone XL pipeline project. The tribe cited Noem’s lack of respect for tribal rights and environmental concerns as reasons for their decision to banish her.
However, after several discussions and negotiations between tribal leaders and Governor Noem, the banishment has been lifted. Tribal leaders have stated that they believe Noem has shown a willingness to listen and work towards a more positive relationship with the tribe.
The timing of this decision is significant, as Governor Noem is set to appear before the Senate for her confirmation hearing for a cabinet position in the Biden administration. This decision by the Lower Brule Sioux tribe may have a positive impact on Noem’s confirmation process and could signal a new chapter in the relationship between the tribe and the governor.
Overall, this development highlights the importance of communication, dialogue, and mutual respect in building positive relationships between Native tribes and government officials. It will be interesting to see how this decision impacts Governor Noem’s future interactions with Native tribes and her potential role in the Biden administration.

Powerful fire union that was neutral in 2024 backs Noem for DHS as California wildfires rage
As fires rage in California, the largest firefighter union in North America threw its support behind South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem for secretary of the Department of Homeland Security after notably remaining politically neutral in the 2024 election cycle.
“We support President Trump’s nomination of Governor Kristi Noem for Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security. As a Governor, nominee Noem understands emergency management and the importance of government response to emergencies both natural and man-made,” International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) General President Edward Kelly wrote in a letter to Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Gary Peters, D-Mich., the respective chair and ranking member on the Senate Committee on Homeland Security.
“She has earned broad support from law enforcement unions, and we join many other organizations in calling for her speedy confirmation.”
The IAFF’s letter of endorsement for Noem comes as multiple fires rip through Los Angeles County, causing at least five deaths, widespread damage and the evacuation of more than 100,000 residents. Fox News Digital exclusively obtained the IAFF’s endorsement on Thursday.
“There is no greater government service than public safety. The members of IAFF are proud to serve our communities, and we look forward to working with Governor Noem and the Department of Homeland Security in the years ahead,” the union chief said.
The IAFF represents 353,000 members who protect more than 85% of the communities living in both the U.S. and Canada. The DHS oversees a number of national security and law enforcement agencies, including U.S. Customs and Border Protection, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the U.S. Secret Service and the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
This is an excerpt from an article by Emma Colton.
The Senate held a confirmation hearing today for President Trump’s nominee, Kristi Noem, to serve as the next Secretary of Agriculture. Noem, a former governor of South Dakota, faced tough questioning from senators on a range of issues, including her plans for managing the nation’s food and agriculture policies, as well as her stance on trade agreements and environmental regulations.During the hearing, Noem emphasized her commitment to supporting American farmers and ranchers, and pledged to prioritize rural development and job creation in the agricultural sector. She also highlighted her experience working on agricultural issues at the state level, and expressed her belief in the importance of promoting sustainable farming practices and protecting the environment.
Despite facing some criticism from Democratic senators over her record on climate change and environmental protection, Noem remained confident and poised throughout the hearing. If confirmed, she would be the first woman to serve as Secretary of Agriculture in the Trump administration.
Stay tuned for updates on Noem’s confirmation process and the future of the Department of Agriculture under her leadership.
