Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is facing backlash after making her first public appearance to the song Hot Mama, a move that quickly went viral on social media.
Previously, Noem made headlines for her glamorous appearance during a high-profile raid in New York City, where she earned nicknames like ICE Barbie and American Badass. While some supporters praised her boldness, critics accused her of turning politics into a spectacle.
Posting on X, Noem shared images of herself alongside officers and immigrants during Donald Trump’s mass deportation initiative in New York. In one photo, she donned a hat while participating in the operation, further fueling debate over her approach.
While some applauded her commitment to the cause, others dismissed her as attention-seeking. A left-wing activist criticized her appearance, telling her to “act her age and stop using Botox.”
Another critic wrote, “She spent hours getting glammed up just to stage photos and walk into a press conference to a cheap song. What’s next? And why is she even in this position?”
