Noem Talks up ‘Migration Control’ in First Remarks in New Role

The Shield of the Americas initiative targets cartel destruction, migration control, and sovereignty defense, with over three million deportations reported in the past year.

  • At Trump National Doral Miami on Saturday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem launched the Shield of the Americas while President Trump was at Dover Air Force Base.
  • Rubio argued the initiative pairs security with economic cooperation, saying physical safety is essential for growth and includes trade, energy and treasury cooperation.
  • Noem detailed a yearlong border-policy shift and reported that over three million people were deported or removed in the past twelve months, as special envoy, Noem said.
  • The plan prioritizes eliminating cartel networks designated as Foreign Terrorist Organizations, migration control, and defending national sovereignty, while fostering cybersecurity collaborations and economic ties with Nayib Bukele and Javier Milei.
  • Noem said the U.S. has reshaped its border posture over the last year and now aims to help neighboring countries secure their borders.
