The ink on her confirmation as secretary for Homeland Security was barely dry before Kristi Noem went to work.
Noem was in New York Tuesday to be part of an immigration enforcement operation, per ABC News.
She also marked the occasion by posting a video of an arrest on social media.
Noem has been on hand for both criminal and civil enforcement operations, per sources familiar with the actions in New York.
The criminal case includes a Venezuelan gang member, who occupied an apartment complex in Aurora, Colorado, according to sources. An alleged gang member was arrested in the Bronx.
Noem’s presence came after she was confirmed by the Senate on Saturday.
The former governor of South Dakota will oversee President Donald Trump’s crackdown on immigration.
“The Trump Administration will once-again empower our brave men and women in law enforcement to do their jobs and remove criminal aliens and illegal gangs from our country,” Noem said after her confirmation. “We will fully equip our intelligence and law enforcement to detect and prevent terror threats and will deliver rapid assistance and disaster relief to Americans in crisis.”
