"ICE Barbie Fired"

March 5, 2026

Vol. 15, No. 2321

JOBS REPORT: President Trump yesterday fired embattled Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem and kicked her to the curb, appointing her to the created job of “Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas,” which he said would be a new security initiative for the Western Hemisphere. This is like his appointment of Don Jr’s former fiancée to be ambassador to Greece, keeping her loyally on the payroll but out of sight.

Noem was the self-promoting queen of cruelty known as “ICE Barbie” as she led the Trump’s crusade to cleanse America of medium-brown people. She’s the first cabinet member to be jettisoned by Trump in his current term.

Trump said in his social media post announcing the move that he wants Oklahoma freshman Sen. Markwayne Mullin to replace Noem. Mullin won his senate seat in a 2023 special election. As a registered member of the Cherokee Nation, Mullin would ironically be the first native American with the power to throw unwanted immigrants out of the country.

Noem’s firing came in a week when she fumbled testimony before Congress about the killing of two protesters by her agents, the purchase of a luxury jet with a sumptuous bedroom, a rumored affair with aide Corey Lewandowski, and the award of $220 million Homeland Security advertising campaign featuring herself. Trump is reported to have been particularly infuriated when Noem said Trump asked for and approved the advertising campaign.
