Kristi Noem gets new nickname as glam Homeland Security chief joins ICE to 'get the dirt bags off the streets'

Kristi Noem gained attention on social media after a stylishly dressed raid targeting ‘dirtbags’ in New York City – leading to her being dubbed as ‘ICE Barbie’ and ‘American Badass.’

As the head of Homeland Security, she shared a video on X of her participation alongside ICE in removing immigrants from the streets of the Big Apple as part of Donald Trump’s massive deportation strategy.

‘Dirtbags like this will continue to be removed from our streets,’ said Noem, while sporting long flowing hair under her law enforcement cap. 

Early Tuesday, social media was lit ablaze with a tweet from the newly named head of Homeland Security. 

The post, uploaded at 6:30am, featured footage of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents detaining an individual whom Noem identified as a ‘criminal alien with charges including kidnapping, assault, and burglary’, on the New York City streets.

A left-wing activist slammed Noem’s presentation in the video, even accusing of her of having had botox. 

Heather Thompson wrote: ‘So Kristi Noem got her face puffed up with filler and Botox, underwent hours of hair extension attachments, hired professional make-up and hair, strapped on her customized bulletproof vest and filmed herself arresting your maid.’

Several anti-Trump social media users responded to Thompson referring to Noem as ‘ICE Barbie,’ with some even photoshopping graphics from the film onto one of the photos of Noem. 

Liberal outlet The Daily Beast also couldn’t help but comment on Noem’s looks: ‘Noem donned a bullet-proof vest and a cap with a police crest—while still looking like she’d stopped off at hair and make-up—to pose alongside ICE and DEA agents, some of them carrying assault rifles.’ 

DailyMail.com has reached out the Trump administration and Department of Homeland Security for comment. 

Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco, 25, is wanted for a host of charges out of Aurora, Colorado linked to the gang’s takeover of multiple apartment complexes in the city last summer.

Sources told the New York Post Zambrano-Pacheco was apprehended when officers swooped on an Ogden Avenue apartment in the Bronx on Tuesday.

He is accused of being among those who were filmed breaking into an apartment last August in an incident which propelled the city into the national spotlight.

Three people were taken into custody including a man with an international warrant for homicide in the Dominican Republic, officials told CNN.

A source told DailyMail.com that the raids are part of an ongoing operation being carried out in every borough of the city.  

Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem attended Tuesday’s dawn raid and confirmed an an individual with kidnapping, assault and burglary charges was taken into custody.

She shared footage of the swoop on X and vowed to clamp down on ‘dirtbags’. 

‘Dirtbags like this will continue to be removed from our streets,’ Noem wrote. ‘We are doing this right – doing exactly what President Trump promised the American people – making our streets safe.’

Mayor Eric Adams was quick to assert the action was just business as usual.

‘Early this morning — as it regularly does as part of a multi-agency task force — our city coordinated with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security on a federal criminal investigation involving a suspect hiding in New York City,’ he said on X.

A photo shared by the New York DEA showed them on the scene in the Fordham Heights area of the Bronx.

Officers have begun storming properties across the country in sanctuary cities like New York as part of Trump’s mass deportation scheme.

Sanctuary cities including the Big Apple have become a haven for migrants who flock to them in the knowledge that officials there limit cooperation with federal immigration agents.

Many have arrived by bus and plane from the southern border, with New York alone welcoming around 210,000 migrants in less than two years.

The president has since said he ‘might have to consider’ pulling funding to sanctuary cities, which include the likes of Chicago, Los Angeles and Philadelphia.

Trump, who ran on a mass deportation platform, has made immigration his first order of business since assuming office.
