Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas swore in former South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem as Secretary of Homeland Security on the weekend. On Tuesday, Noem appeared in New York City wearing a bulletproof vest with the words POLICE ICE emblazoned across the chest.
With the photos below, Noem wrote: “Arresting some criminal aliens this morning in NYC – thank you to the brave officers involved.”

One of Noem’s fans replied: “There is something refreshing about a fit, attractive, highly competent woman who can handle a gun. Go Kristi!”
This morning, @Sec_Noem was on @ICEgov Enforcement operation in NYC. One of the arrests included a criminal alien with kidnapping, assault & burglary charges. We will keep Americans safe. pic.twitter.com/eKK6yBvI6A

Another admirer wrote “Excellent work Madam Secretary. Thank you for jumping in with both feet” and pitched the new Homeland Secretary with “a better fitting ballistic vest” made by a company in Peoria, Arizona. The commenter added: “They make not only female ballistic vests, they can customize a vest to meet your needs.”
Others who are clearly not fans of Noem are leaving negative comments regarding the photos, including: “Kristi’s narcissism is as insatiable as her boss, the Fanta Fascist. Playing dress up again I see? Still as phony as a $3.00 bill.”
The Department of Homeland Security reported Tuesday that Noem will “spell out her vision for the department in a televised address to staff at 3 pm today. The DHS wrote: “It’s Noem’s first big moment on stage.”
Today, @Sec_Noem will layout her vision for the Department of Homeland Security. Watch the full speech live: https://t.co/AO4oNjMq1c pic.twitter.com/cy4xc6OXsz
