This is the inevitable result of building an entire public persona on curated theatrics and then being confronted with a basic, factual question. When a DHS official can’t handle being asked about racial profiling without spiraling, that’s not media bias, that’s institutional fragility on full display.

The real story isn’t the outburst. It’s the panic that erupts the moment the performance is interrupted. If this is how she reacts to a routine press question, imagine the stability of the system she’s fronting. This isn’t strength. It’s the sound of a narrative cracking under the weight of reality.

The performative theatrics has worked even less well in Congressional hearings. They cannot go off-script because that would involve thinking

DW's avatar

She ran out like a little child throwing a fit. Theatrics? She acts like a spoiled rotten shit that has never had to be responsible for anything, Seriously!! A female version of trump. the truth is what you say it is. A true to form Narcissist without empathy. She probably does get off watching people suffer and die. So easy to pull a trigger and kill a dog. That is in fact a tell of a psychopath.

In just this one case, maybe RFK2 is right about injections having no real value

Apparently it is just as easy to pull a trigger 3x under her watch to kill Renee Good

She ran out?!??????? WTF!

"She's was a white lady!" So we know They can't call her an 'illegal' crossing the border. Or a gr@pist. Or a trafficker of sex or children. Or a drug maker, mule, whatever. Or a gang member.

"Home grown terrorist!!" That's her. Hates America. Hates humans. Tried to kill one. Yup yup that's the answer. 🤬

(Their thoughts imagined ⬆️ not mine, I've gotten in trouble before)

It has seemed to me for a very long time, that this is nothing more than projection. The Trump regime is filled by hungry ghosts who can never get enough.

Administration of immoral freaks

Summed that up beautifully 🙏🐿️

Alexander's avatar

Excellent point. Representative of the entire farce of this regime

Mike Tonge's avatar

Yes, fragile and desperate to stay in power to avoid accountability. I fear for the safety and integrity of the mid-term elections (if they occur at all).

Susan Troy's avatar

I understand your fears, but let’s summon our collective courage and ensure elections happen regardless . I’m tired of running scared behind a bunch of aging, aggressive, botoxed freaks.

Debbie Ross's avatar

Look at her face. It's obvious she is cracking under the stress. I think she's on the verge of a padded cell.

Kim Nesvig's avatar

It is time to write your congressional delegation and demand, not ask, that they finally bring this reign of error and terror to an end. congress funded ICE and approved Kristi Noem as head of Homeland Security. Since this ordeal began, ICE has terrorized innocent people, abducted individuals without warrants, denied due process, and in all to many cases killed innocent people either with bullets or willful neglect. This need to end.

Publia's avatar

I just did. I wrote my own letter and sent it off to my representative and both senators. I don't know how much good it will do; all three are Democrats and already object to ICE actions, but I thought they should know they have my support.

My congresscon, Nick Lanbworthy NY23, is attached, remora-like, to the nether regions of the godking of America, and his answer is, "He has a mandate from the people," plus whatever words are the current script from on high. He rarely veers from the central theme, and he has no shame.

Joan Eisenstodt's avatar

Aaaargh. I’m so sorry. Still annoy him.

Joan Eisenstodt's avatar

I have no voting representation. My calls and letters go into a void. Write extra for DC’s residents.

Ellie still in the mix in 26's avatar

I know there was a reason for it at the time, but I believe things should change. I'd be happy to write extra for DC residents.

Judy Sherwood's avatar

DHS: Ignorance in person, with smiles, smirks and hair extensions. My god she is stupid and brain washed and spews the same information over and over and over. Kinda like Steven Cheung. It's what happens to people in the current administration. They willingly become Bots. Smirking Bots.

Francesca Cee's avatar

She's always been a terrible person. This job just lets her play out her evil fantasies. I cannot understand why no one is stopping this. I hope some day to see these people in prison, but I'm not holding my breath

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

She killed a dog in cold blood. People across the political spectrum hated that. It's like Trump appointed her just to stick a finger in our collective eye.

Francesca Cee's avatar

I wouldn't be surprised if she is personally torturing these people once they're kidnapped and thrown in cages. She's pure evil. Like Stephen Miller who is the architect of this. No wonder his family hates him. They fled Russia because of pogroms. And now this nut job is doing the same. A Jewish nazi. It's insane.

Kelvin Hobbs's avatar

She seemed to enjoy flaunting her $50K Rolex watch and parading in front of the poor wretches she caused (with help from others) to be caged at CECOT.

Miller betrays with glee the millions who perished in the lagers and the few who survived to testify; the ultimate capo traitor. Likely has small ... hands.

Francesca Cee's avatar

There are no words strong enough to describe how evil Noem and Miller are

Joan Eisenstodt's avatar

From accounts, she’s approving torture.

Connie Larsen's avatar

I hope her n lewandowski are paying rent on the naval academy where they are shacking up!

Maybe kash n her can pay for all the costs when they use we the people’s airplanes for their personal use!!

Don’t hold your breath!

The people of this “administration” are our countries most extreme right wing trolls. The absolute lunatic fringe of the Republican Party. Let that sink in.

Francesca Cee's avatar

Does anyone else feel like they're completely losing their minds? We saw the video. We know she's flat out lying. And yet a third of the population believes the lie over their own eyeballs? How does this even happen? This cult's hive mind is so dangerous. They need to snap the hell out of it and open their damn eyes. They're coming for all of us.

Gingbos's avatar

How indeed Francesca, my take; the rights vast, extensive and well financed propaganda network.

WILLIAM CASH's avatar

Fox is supporting everything the administration says, so I assume Newmax and OAN are also.

Francesca Cee's avatar

I don't know how this is possible, but newsmax and oan are worse than fox! Once in awhile fox commits an actual act of journalism. Those others are fringe lunatics

Joan Eisenstodt's avatar

Yes. Over Ms Good and all of it. Every action& word. I need padded walls.

Francesca Cee's avatar

Massive collective trauma. I know I'll never recover from this, even if I survive it. I already have had ptsd for 40 years. I did not need this (no one else needs it either). I hope we come out with a stronger sense of unity where neighbors help neighbors. I hear that's what's happening in Minneapolis

Stacy Ed's avatar

If Jonathan Ross didn’t do anything wrong according to ice Barbie, why was he whisked away to a secret location with his wife? According to a Post I read she is an immigrant😐. Would love verification on that bit of news.

Sally Devoe's avatar

So many of them are married to immigrants. Those poor souls.

Francesca Cee's avatar

White supremacists love Asian women because they think they're more subservient than other races/ethnicities. She's not a wife to him. She's a house cleaner, baby incubator, and sex toy 🤮 and a token to say "hey I can't be racist, my wife is Filipina"

After watching Kristi’s CNN interview, I have begun to suspect that ICE and Border Patrol firearms training consists of nothing but shooting puppies in a cage!

Trump is trying to change how the midterm elections are conducted.

Trump is using every tool he can find to influence the 2026 midterm elections and, if his party loses, sow doubt in their validity. He has demanded that Republican state lawmakers redraw congressional districts, prosecute political opponents, toughen voter registration rules and attempts to end the use of voting machines and mail ballots and has gutted the role of the nation’s cybersecurity agency in protecting elections; and stocked the Justice Department, Homeland Security Department and FBI from top to bottom with officials who have denied the legitimacy of the 2020 election.

Trump pressed GOP leaders to [redraw] their congressional maps for partisan gain. … and pledged to “lead a movement” to end mail voting. … In August he said he would attempt to end the use of voting machines. The DOJ is seeking the list of registered voters from at least 40 states. Critics have warned that inaccurate data matches could disenfranchise legitimate voters and allow the administration to inflate its findings to undermine election results.

Trump appointed people who promote the lie that he won the 2020 election to some of the nation’s most powerful federal law enforcement positions … They are pushing to overhaul election policies, suing election officials and launching investigations. Trump stepped up ICE patrols across the country and deployed or attempted to deploy National Guard troops in several cities run by Democrats. Even the mention of a large police or military presence in cities at election time could intimidate some voters and fire up the president’s base.

After his 2020 loss, Trump considered authorizing the military to seize voting equipment and ballots. Trump … directed the Dept. of Commerce to work on a CENSUS based on modern day facts and figures.” … Changing the census count could shrink the representation of some blue states. In his March EO, Trump sought to require people to provide proof of citizenship when they register to vote. Courts have blocked that part of his order.

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Yeah yeah, he's TRYING. Most off that is talk; most of that will fail. The redistricting thing has already failed, blown up in their faces. Trump has no power to require anything to vote, although some states are following his suggestion. There aren't enough faces to intimidate voters at the polls meaningfully and they are likely to go to low-turnout area (i.e. black and brown) areas that aren't the game changers and not the white swing suburbs where voters are really angry at Republicans. He's not going to "see voting machines." Our job is to continue to contest that and not scare people so they throw up their hands and give up. The Washington Post is trying to make us do that; they are the enemy now.

Kelvin Hobbs's avatar

I do not trust WaPo either, but the article (read the full version if you can) makes clear that the interference process has as many arms as a pod of octopuses. The biggest logistical problem is that there are insufficient qualified attorneys to fight these battles in every state and county where elections are certified, let alone in Congress

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

Actually, it's false that there are insufficient qualified attorneys to fight these battles. We are well-armed on that score, and they are not. They are ruthless, but we are better informed on the law and have won far more battles in court. There are some amazing legal groups fighting on our side, which is one reason they have had so few victories on this score.

Kelvin Hobbs's avatar

I find this more convincing (the League of Women Voters hardly is a fringe or unreliable source). Where do we find any support for your declaration of "facts" or any validation that the statement you object to on its face is false?

"Caren Short, the director of legal and research for the League of Women Voters, told NOTUS. Short described it as intentionally “overwhelming.” “There aren’t enough attorneys to challenge every single restrictive law in every single state. There’s so many of them,” she said. “And so, some of these are going into place.” The Trump election-reform agenda is taking shape state by state. The RNC joined the Mississippi Republican Party in suing the state over its absentee ballot receipt deadline, arguing that only ballots received by Election Day should be counted."

Anastasia Pantsios's avatar

So far, they have prevailed in most cases and frustrated the Trumpers, so I guess there are enough.

Kelvin Hobbs's avatar

I respectfully disagree. So far maybe there have been enough. It is January. Elections are almost 10 months in the future. The shenanigans will increase. The number of lawyers needed almost certainly will not keep pace. The fact that many have been won is good - many filed by CA AG Rob Bonta. But yesterday's wins are not enough. How will we meet tomorrow's grief uptick?

Chuckles and AIPAC Shakir need to be fired immedatly!!!

Noem: “the officer acted according to his training.” SHE ADMITTED THAT IS THEIR INTENDED TRAINING. Shoot first and we’ve got your back.

This horrible woman thinks that all that matters is how she looks, not how many people she’s responsible for killing. She really doesn’t want anyone to know how truly old she is.

DW's avatar

I'll urge everyone to get a Dash Cam. ICE Barbie is an ignorant fool a maga moron and an epic Liar.

That's just the short list. I have to be honest here I don't think she actually knows what she is going to say before an interview. It is more of the same thing over and over she just changes her answers based on the subject, same denial of the facts at hand and to point blame somewhere else. Oh wait THAT'S the Republican maga way right....Right.
