"Kristi Noem has been busy. The homeland security secretary kicked off the year with a large immigration operation in Minneapolis that directly led to the killing of Renee Nicole Good by an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent. In the days since, Noem has been on a press tour, diligently putting her MAGA spin on the truth. For example, she has called Good a "domestic terrorist," and even encouraged us all to buy ICE and Border Patrol agents lunch, as a thank-you for protecting our communities."
"Noem doesn't just talk the talk of the Trump regime. With her long hair, overfilled lips, and very, very white teeth, she looks the part. The Daily Beast appropriately referred to her as "ICE Barbie." Like many MAGA women, Noem didn't always look like this- here she is, for example, running to be the governor of South Dakota, wearing an orange button-down and sporting a general bone structure that looks much closer to that of a regular person."
"But I'm a Latina who's had my ears pierced since I was just a few months old. Getting my first pair of gold hoops was a rite of passage-when I look back at pictures, it's clear that as a child I hardly ever left the house without them and the matching gold bracelet engraved with my name."

Noem presents a curated MAGA appearance, described with long hair, overfilled lips, very white teeth, and dubbed "ICE Barbie." She previously appeared more ordinary while running for South Dakota governor. A Latina describes lifelong ties to gold hoop earrings and asks that Noem retire the hoops.
