Kristi Noem: “Thanks to Trump, our communities are safer today”

Security is not an abstract concept. It’s not a slogan or an empty campaign topic. Security is something we experience or lose every day on the streets of our communities. And for South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem, that truth is not only clear—it has a name: Donald J. Trump.

In a video shared on social media, Noem laid out a reality that many media outlets prefer to ignore and that certain progressive sectors try to cover up with empty rhetoric: violent crimes committed by individuals who should never have set foot on American soil.
“Every day, I receive a report listing the names and crimes of people arrested in this country who have caused havoc in our communities. Today alone, we have reports of a sexual assault on a minor, a murder, a bank robbery, an assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill, a rape combined with theft. How can we keep allowing this to happen?” the governor asked firmly.

But there was also a key difference in her message: it’s not like it used to be. Why? Because of the decisions President Trump made during his time in office. Thanks to his clear, strong, and patriotic immigration policies, over 150,000 dangerous individuals, many of them members of foreign criminal organizations like MS13 and TDA, have been arrested and deported.

“Today, our communities are safer because President Trump took real action,” Noem said. “I’m deeply grateful for everything he’s done—for standing strong against media pressure and empty criticism. His commitment to removing these criminal groups wasn’t just right—it was necessary.”

Noem emphasized that this isn’t just a political debate between Democrats and Republicans—it’s about the very lives of American citizens.
“There are children alive today, women who weren’t attacked, families that aren’t mourning a loved one—all because someone had the courage to say enough. That someone was Donald Trump.”

Democrats have tried to paint a distorted picture of reality—proposing massive amnesties and promoting a narrative that criminalizes those who uphold the law.
“What they call inclusion, we call negligence. What they call compassion, we call complicity. Because there is no compassion in exposing the everyday citizen to constant danger,” Noem asserted.

For many Americans, this fight is not abstract. It’s the difference between living in fear and living with dignity. Between a government that protects you and one that abandons you in the name of political correctness.

The results of Trump’s leadership aren’t just visible in crime stats—they’re evident in real stories of people who have regained their peace of mind. Cities once held hostage by crime can now breathe. Families who once lived in fear can now walk freely.

And as Kristi Noem reminded us, that’s not a coincidence—it’s a consequence.

Noem represents a new generation of leaders who aren’t afraid to speak the truth—unfiltered, unpolished, and anchored in values. And by doing so, she amplifies what millions of Americans feel every single day:
That the Trump era means protection, order, and national pride.
