Accusations that did not please those mainly concerned who therefore banned the governor from entering the country, highlighting “Noem’s penchant for exaggeration and lack of respect for Native Americans”, as reported by the Washington Post. Points which raise serious concerns about its future federal role. “It is clear that the cartels are selling drugs to individuals and middlemen and are being transported to South Dakota. But there is no real presence in the state, much less on reservations. We felt like she was using negativity to gain exposure and draw more attention to herself so that someone like Donald Trump would notice her.”responded Ryman LeBeau, president of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribe. For Wayne Ducheneaux, former representative of the Cheyenne River Sioux Tribal Council, the ban on access to tribal lands is “a very telling move…which is largely due to Governor Noem’s disregard for tribal sovereignty and lack of understanding of how borders work. “She doesn’t have a fundamental understanding of how to work across any type of border, whether it’s the U.S. border with Mexico or the indigenous nations of her own state.”

Brendan Johnson, a former U.S. attorney in South Dakota, said the charges are absurd and show a lack of understanding of the economics of Noem’s drug trafficking. “These small communities are not lucrative targets for a cartel. It would make no sense for them to establish some sort of business empire on the reservation“, he explains.
Noem is known as a strong defender of Donald Trump and shares his fight against immigration. While her state is located approximately 2,500 kilometers from the southern border, in 2021 she is launching a major campaign against illegal immigration. She also sent National Guard troops to the state of Texas, a mission that will cost more than $3 million (including one donated by a billionaire from Tennessee, according to the Washington Post, Editor’s note).

Kristi L. Noem had recently been in the news. Expected to become Donald Trump’s running mate, she ultimately found herself in a scandal with the publication of her autobiographical book. In her memoirs, she admitted to shooting her own dog in cold blood. A revelation that shocked many Americans. She had also been the subject of mockery after writing several lies. She mentioned, for example, a meeting with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, although this never took place. She also claimed to have declined a meeting with Emmanuel Macron after “a very pro-Hamas and anti-Israeli comment”. The Élysée then explained that no meeting was planned.
