Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem’s public appearances are causing frustration among Department of Homeland Security agents, as mentioned in The Wall Street Journal. Noem’s tweet during an Immigration and Customs Enforcement raid reportedly compromised the operation, leading to fewer arrests than expected, according to sources.
Agents complain her focus on publicity conflicts with agency operations, with some preferring her to remain out of the spotlight.
Tricia McLaughlin, who works for the DHS, defended Noem’s strategy, stating the border is secure and encounters are at record lows.
