A great grandchild of Rosa's next younger sister Flora and Edward George Arnold
(1875-1951), Kristi Noem, was elected 33rd Governor of South Dakota in 2018 and served
until 2025 when she was sworn in as head of the U.S. Department of Homeland
Security (DHS) under President Trump to oversee his goal of the mass deportation
of illegal immigrants, which often bypassed the "due process rights" for all legal
U.S. residents who were not criminals or even accused of a crime, a protection
of the U.S. Constitution. The Trump administration vowed to continue the
"reign of terror" through 2026 but in Jan 2026, Kristi was replaced after
two tragic events in which a non-immigrant U.S. citizen was shot and killed by
DHS employees while protesting, and after it was learned that DHS spent
hundreds of millions of dollars on self promoting ads and luxury jets without
approval from Congress or the President. When she left that office, DHS
funding had been cutoff by Congress resulting in thousands of TSA agents,
responsible for keeping airline travel safe were forced to work with paychecks.
She was born Kristi Lynn Arnold in 1971 in
Watertown SD. Her paternal grandparents were 50% German (Robish) and up to 50%
French (Arnold), and her
great-great-grandfather emigrated from Germany
in Mar 1847. . She was born Kristi Lynn Arnold in 1971 in Watertown SD. |
