Last Thursday, Noem confirmed that she would expand the initial travel ban on 19 countries to over 30 countries.
The crackdown came partly as a response to the Thanksgiving-week shooting of two National Guard troops by an alleged Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who pleaded not guilty to the charges against him. Sarah Beckstrom, one of the National Guard members, died from the shooting.
