Nielsen’s father is of Danish ancestry while her mother is of German descent. The oldest of three children, Nielsen has a sister, Ashley, and a brother, Fletcher. Following Nielsen’s birth, the family relocated from Colorado Springs to Clearwater, Florida.

During Nielsen’s tenure, several incidents at the U.S.–Mexico border between law enforcement and migrants seeking passage attracted international attention and prompted criticism of the Trump administration’s approach towards enforcement.

On October 11, 2017, President Donald Trump nominated Nielsen to be the new United States secretary of homeland security, replacing Acting Secretary Elaine Duke. On December 5, 2017, the Senate confirmed her nomination, by a 62–37 vote. On December 6, 2017, she was sworn in as secretary of homeland security.

Nielsen served as John F. Kelly’s chief of staff at the United States Department of Homeland Security (DHS) after he assumed that position on January 20, 2017. In early September 2017, just over a month after Kelly became White House chief of staff on July 31, 2017, Nielsen moved to the White House, becoming the principal deputy chief of staff under Kelly.

After leaving the Bush administration in 2008, Nielsen became the founder and president of Sunesis Consulting. The firm’s online profile listed her as its only employee, with the firm’s phone number being Nielsen’s personal cellphone. In September 2013 the company won a federal contract, with an initial award of about $450,000, to “provide policy and legislation, technical writing, and organizational development” to the Federal Emergency Management Agency.

Referring to President Trump’s response to clashes between the white supremacists and counter-protesters at Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia on August 12, 2017, Alexander asked, “But in the comments that are obviously highly publicized when he [President Trump] placed blame in his words on both side, does that make your job harder when [p]resident says things that at least in those communities are viewed as he has got our [white supremacists’] back?” She said, “I think what is interesting about that is we saw, and I think we continue to learn— maybe there was different, whether it was foreign influence or different purposeful attempts to get both sides, if you will, aggressively pitted against each other.” She later added that “it is not that one side is right, one side is wrong. Anybody that is advocating violence, we need to work to mitigate.”

On Sunday, November 25, 2018, there was an incident at the San Ysidro Port of Entry between California and Mexico. Groups of Central American migrant caravans tried to forcibly cross the border into the United States. Some of them threw rocks at U.S. Border Patrol agents, who responded by firing tear gas into the crowd which included families with small children. The use of tear gas in this situation was strongly criticized. In a statement Nielsen said that this caravan had acted violently in the past and “I refuse to believe that anyone honestly maintains that attacking law enforcement with rocks and projectiles is acceptable.” She added that in some cases the women and children in the caravan were being used by the organizers as “human shields” when they confronted law enforcement. She asserted “at this point we have confirmed that there are over 600 convicted criminals traveling with the caravan flow.” An earlier “Fact Sheet” about the caravan, released by the DHS, had stated that “over 270 individuals along the caravan route have criminal histories” and that “Mexican officials have also publicly stated that criminal groups have infiltrated the caravan.” It also asserted that the caravan included individuals from more than 20 countries. However, that statement was challenged by a Washington Post fact checker, who said it was oddly worded in such a way as to suggest the people referenced were not actually part of the caravan.
