This episode examines Noem's hardline shift at the Department of Homeland Security, particularly her aggressive stance on immigration and border security. With exclusive insights from The Straits Times and Grey Dynamics, learn how Noem’s policies echo Trump’s rhetoric, framing illegal immigration as a significant threat and implementing stringent enforcement measures across the DHS.
