The last message he had texted me was the day before he passed away, Noem answered. And it said, 'We have to hold these mayors and local officials accountable for what they're doing.' I was traveling and in meetings in a different time zone and I didn't see it and missed it. I will always feel bad that I didn't respond because I would have said, 'Absolutely, I'm on it,' which I am, but I think he knew that, said Noem.

This individual was a known human smuggler, a MS-13 gang member, an individual who was a wife-beater, and someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos from minors. And even his fellow human traffickers told him to knock it off, he was so sick in what he was doing and how he was treating small children, Noem said in her original, full answer.

"I'm going to be going out tonight, I'm going to keep it a secret," the president joked to radio host Todd Starnes. "I'm going to be out tonight, I think with the police, and with the military, of course. So we're going to do a job."

Senator Padilla's treatment at the hands of law enforcement officials underscores a disturbing trend of aggressive tactics against elected representatives.

"Claudia Sheinbaum came out and encouraged more protests in L.A., and I condemn her for that," Noem said. "She should not be encouraging violent protests that are going on."

I will say, before I turn it over to the next speaker, that of course everybody is welcome to come and see this incredible event... But when the time is up, they'll have to go home.

Secretary Noem's purse, containing sensitive items and cash, was stolen while under Secret Service protection, raising concerns about security protocols.
