Kristi Noem's ICE raid photo-op sparked backlash as social media mocked her "ICE Barbie" look, while immigration arrests surge under Trump's administration.

Former South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem is giving Americans a glimpse into her new role as the Secretary of Homeland Security. Noem could be seen wearing an ICE vest in pictures posted to her DHS secretary account on X.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s stepped-up arrests continued Tuesday, with newly sworn-in Homeland Security Sec. Kristi Noem personally taking part in an operation targeting New York City. The New York operation Tuesday morning was part of a broader pattern of highly publicized ICE arrests starting last week targeting “sanctuary cities” that have passed local policies limiting cooperation with federal deportation efforts.
