What is happening in France should be a warning to the world. Extremist groups are fueling the unrest, reminding us that every nation has a responsibility to uphold the rule of law, secure its borders, and protect its citizens. The safety of American citizens is NON-NEGOTIABLE and must ALWAYS come FIRST.

Happy Opener, South Dakota! Foster and I wish you good luck in the field! Pheasant hunting is part of who we are, and it’s a tradition worth passing on to our kids and grandkids. As Governor, I partnered with landowners to start the Second Century Initiative, helping turn marginal land into wildlife habitat so the next generation can enjoy the same hunting traditions we grew up with.

I’m proud to continue working with President Trump and advancing his America First agenda. Together, we’ll continue fighting trafficking and terrorism, strengthening business partnerships, and building a safer, stronger, and more prosperous Western Hemisphere.

Minnesota has a fraud problem. I’m joining @bennyjohnson on The Benny Show today at 11 AM ET to discuss the federal investigation involving Ilhan Omar. Tune in: youtube.com/@bennyjohnson

Buying a MAGA hat shouldn’t make you a target of the federal government. Jack Smith has some explaining to do.

My heart breaks for the family of Deputy Katherine Frank, especially her siblings, and the fellow officers who served alongside her. I’m praying for comfort and strength for everyone who loved her, and for God’s continued protection over all the brave men and women in law enforcement who put their lives on the line to keep us safe.

Everybody eats, but not everyone farms. I'm proud to come from a generational family farm and ranch. Working alongside my dad taught me the value of faith, family, and hard work. Our farmers feed America and the world. A nation that can't feed its own people can never truly be secure. Thank you to the farmers who work tirelessly to put food on our tables every day. Happy National Farmers Day!

I’ll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day. And if I’m choosin’ Texas, I’ll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.

The days of drug cartels operating with impunity in our hemisphere are coming to an end. Through the Shield of the Americas, we’re strengthening partnerships, confronting criminal organizations, and putting America’s security first. A safer Western Hemisphere means a safer America. foxnews.com/opinion/donroe-d…

Pumpkin patch with the ‘lil pumpkins ❤️

Congratulations to @KatieZacharia on her well-deserved appointment as the next White House Press Secretary! I was proud to bring Katie onto my team at DHS, and I know she will continue to do a fantastic job serving President Trump and delivering for the American people.

Sometimes…behind the scenes is where the real work gets done. Grateful for the brave leaders in the western hemisphere who partner with us at the Shield of the Americas to bring safety and prosperity to all of us.

Thom Tillis wants to debate taxpayer dollars, so let’s have that debate. Every deportation costs the American taxpayer about $18,000. As Secretary, I sent a clear message to anyone here illegally: leave voluntarily or face deportation. Millions chose to self-deport. Under my leadership at DHS, encouraging self-deportation saved taxpayers over $40 billion and allowed law enforcement to pursue other dangerous criminals on our streets. That doesn’t even include the costs avoided when people decided not to enter our country illegally in the first place. Tillis complains about advertising costs but conveniently ignores the taxpayer’s savings. I also cut $15 billion in lucrative contracts that the same good old boys’ companies had benefited from for years. On my watch, they had to answer for how they spent Americans’ money. President Trump promised to enforce our laws and protect Americans. I helped him deliver. Americans deserve the full record, not another self-serving television performance from Thom Tillis. January 3rd can’t come soon enough for the patriots in North Carolina that the Senator has turned his back on.

In response to the DISHONEST @nytimes about their factually incorrect article today… I write to formally request the retraction entirely or explicit correction of the article titled 'Kristi Noem’s Agency Gave Her Donor a Lucrative Contract Just Before She Left.' The article's characterization of the individual as a "donor" (confirmed not to be the case) is materially misleading and, as unsupported by the factual record, conveys a false implication of a direct financial relationship obviously intended to influence official action. Accuracy is fundamental to responsible journalism. If the individual did not personally make political contributions to Secretary Noem, or if the term 'donor' instead refers indirectly to unrelated entities or legally distinct contributions, the article simply fails to meet the standards of precision expected of The New York Times. Numerous times clarifications were made to the journalists responsible for this libelous story. Such wording unfairly prejudices readers and creates an inference of impropriety that is not supported by the underlying facts.

President Noboa and I are both committed to taking on the cartels and organized crime, making our countries safer, and creating opportunities for businesses to thrive. Before our Shield of the Americas meeting at UNGA last week, we discussed using better technology to strengthen Ecuador’s borders and ports and how we can help open the door for more American businesses to come to Ecuador. Building these partnerships is what the Shield of the Americas is all about - working together to create a more a secure and prosperous future for us and our neighbors.

Caravans should NEVER be allowed to happen again. Policy, law enforcement, leadership and messaging all matter.

Fantastic weekend at Paul Nelson Farms in South Dakota hunting with @pheasants4ever ! I became a dual patron member and am so proud to support such a strong conservation organization.
