"Her fault for standing too close to that gravel pit, Colbert joked, referencing a passage in her 2024 memoir No Going Back describing where she disposed of the dog's body after she shot and killed the canine."
"It's too soon to know why Kristi Noem is gone. Before we find out any information about what happened, I just want to say with absolute certainty, she is a domestic terrorist who deserves to go to Gitmo, he added, borrowing her label for ICE protester Alex Pretti, who was shot dead in Minnesota by federal agents."
"Earlier Thursday, Trump announced on Truth Social that Noem would leave DHS and instead serve as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, a new security initiative focused on the Western Hemisphere, while Senator Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) would take over the department."
Stephen Colbert opened The Late Show by celebrating Kristi Noem's removal as Homeland Security secretary by President Trump. Colbert made multiple jokes targeting Noem, including references to her 2024 memoir where she described shooting and killing her dog, and her controversial labeling of ICE protesters as domestic terrorists. Trump announced Noem would transition to a new role as Special Envoy for The Shield of the Americas, while Senator Markwayne Mullin would assume leadership of DHS. Colbert continued his criticism by mocking the new position and Trump's broader cabinet decisions.
