Kristi Noem: Don't Say ICE Agent Jonathan Ross' Name

Kristi Noem refused to give an update on Ross' supposed internal bleeding.

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem said Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Jonathan Ross’ name should no longer be said.

On Sunday, when Margaret Brennan, the host of “Face The Nation,” asked Noem about Ross’ medical status, Noem told Brennan not to say his name.

“Don’t say his name,” Noem said Sunday on “Face The Nation.” “I mean for heaven’s sakes, we shouldn’t have people continue to dox law enforcement when they have an 8,000% increase in death threats against them.” Noem was seemingly referencing a stat that Homeland Security put out in October, claiming ICE agents are “facing an 8,000% increase in death threats.”

Brennan responded to Noem by saying Ross’ name is public and clarified she was asking about the CBS report that claimed Ross had experienced internal bleeding in the torso, something that drew skepticism from CBS staffers.

Noem told Brennan that even though his name is public, “that doesn’t mean it should continue to be said.” She also continued to falsely claim that Ross’ life was in danger.
