Two of Donald Trumps most vicious anti-immigration bulldogs have reportedly been at each others throats to such an extent that the president himself wondered if hed need to step in.
In a sweeping exposé on Kristi Noems rise from humble Farm Service Agency employee South Dakota governor to homeland security secretary, New York magazine reports that Noems bitter spat with border czar Tom Homan ultimately boils down to her seemingly insatiable appetite for publicity.
Since assuming her post earlier this year, Noem has indeed embarked on an intense campaign for ever greater public exposure, earning the nickname ICE Barbie for cosplaying during TV appearances as an immigration enforcement agent, a firefighter, a pilot, and various other DHS employees.
It was her crusade for more airtime, a former DHS official told the magazine, that apparently put her on a collision course with Homan, himself a huge fan of media appearances.
Noem reportedly became enraged with the border czar after he appeared on TV to discuss developments in the Trump administrations nationwide immigration crackdown, accusing him of having gotten out front of her on the topic.

Homan accepted the money after suggesting he could help agents posing as business executives win government contracts in a second Trump term, MSNBC reported citing sources familiar and internal documents.
The encounter led Homan, who was the acting director of Immigration and Customs Enforcement in President Donald Trump's first term, to be investigated for bribery and other potential crimes, according to The New York Times.

Did he spend it on hookers and blow in Vegas?
He sure didn't spend it on plastic surgery. Looks like he caught a grenade with his face.
