...he knows she's burned if she crosses him?
This is way out in left field, but Noem has been stacking up Ls for a few years. Caving to the NCAA over the tranny bill, rumors of an affair, and (strangely enough) shooting a dog. With her current resume her career is pretty shaky after the governorship. Trump is extending her a way to burnish her credentials, and if she bucks his leadership she'd be committing political suicide.
Normally you'd expect someone who cucked out for the NCAA to cuck out over mass deportations, but Noem probably has more to lose by opposing Trump. It's not like she's actually a bleeding heart lib. I mean, she shot her dog.
By the way, the anti-ZOG crowd has been very annoying recently twisting Tom Homan's statements on mass deportations. Vance laid all this out in interviews. Agents are not going to be out there rounding up every illegal man woman and child immediately, because that would be retarded. The last American mass deportation of Mexicans didn't look like that. Even the Nazis didn't do that to the Jews. Anyone can tell this if they have a few brain cells to confer with, so I assume these people are just trying to build a narrative after Trump appointed a Zionist cabinet.
Be careful where you get information as, from my own speculation, the establishment and psy ops places not running around screaming tearing their hair out in public tantrums, are currently trying to cause infighting among the opposition.
The left and Democrats are in free fall, NOTHING can get them into the shape required to oppose Trump and his associates so the only thing they can do is cause infighting and get the establishment/Neocon Republicans to be the snakes they are to drag the opposition into the same pit they are falling in.
The one glimmer of hope though, is having Elon on board as when he said recently said that he will finance the primary of opposing candidates to ANYONE on the Republican side that voted for the funding Bill, that Bill died then and there. He's got 'wrath of God' level of money and is too important to the space industry for the Deep State to simply kill off. So expect this level of talk trying to cause infighting as that's all they can do at the moment.
