ICE Barbie has made her soft landing.
Former Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem debuted in her newly-created role as special envoy for “Shield of the Americas,” as President Trump announced the initiative in Florida Saturday.
Trump fired Noem as DHS chief on Thursday after a series of flubs that included claiming in a House hearing the president approved $220 million in TV ads starring herself — and her stunning non-answer about whether she had “sexual relations” with top aide Corey Lewandowski.
The 54-year-old former governor of South Dakota, who earned the nickname ICE Barbie for her perfectly coiffed hair and makeup during her highly publicized immigration enforcement photo ops, sat in the front row alongside War Secretary Pete Hegseth, Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick.
Trump gathered a dozen allied Latin American leaders in his golf resort outside Miami to announce the newly formed US-led coalition of conservative Latin American governments aimed at fighting cartels and countering Chinese influence in the hemisphere.
“We have to eradicate them. We have to knock the hell out of them,” he said.

Walk into almost any dinner party or gathering and mention Ozempic or other GLP-1s. The reaction is nearly always the same: People lower their voices. They hesitate. They start qualifying what they mean before they’ve even said it. What should be a straightforward conversation about a medication quickly turns into a moral debate about whether using it is acceptable at all.
