Homeland Security's Kristi Noem with Coast Guard after plane crash
After the deadly plane crash near Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was with the Coast Guard being briefed in Anacostia, according to a department spokesperson.

Noem posted photos of her on the scene on X with the caption: "Our Coast Guard saw the collision and immediately responded. Our cutter was the first boat on the scene of the tragic DCA plane crash."
"This morning, I went to Joint Base Anacostia-Bolling first thing to see the rescue & recovery operations from the water and offer all resources of the Department of Homeland Security to help support multiple agencies & first responders," she wrote. "Please pray for the families of all the victims and the safety of all those involved."

This crash is one of the first major disasters that Trump’s administration is facing. It’s Noem and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth’s first week in their roles, and Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy’s first full on the job was on Thursday.
