ICE Barbie Ordered Trump's Border Czar to Stop Going on TV [View all]

Two of Donald Trump’s most vicious anti-immigration bulldogs have reportedly been at each other’s throats to such an extent that the president himself wondered if he’d need to step in.

In a sweeping exposé on Kristi Noem’s rise from humble Farm Service Agency employee South Dakota governor to homeland security secretary, New York magazine reports that Noem’s 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 administration’s nationwide immigration crackdown, accusing him of having “gotten out front” of her on the topic.
