Kristi ‘ICE Barbie’ Noem rankled senior Coast Guard officials by urging the force to divert resources from an active search-and-rescue mission to one designed to deport migrants, according to insiders.
The Coast Guard was trying to find a missing service member, Seaman Bryan K. Lee, 23, from California, who “was reported unaccounted for” on Tuesday morning, Feb. 4 last year, just nine days after Noem was confirmed as Homeland Security secretary.
The force had been using a C-130 military transport aircraft in the search. The same plane was supposed to be enforcing President Trump’s scorched-earth anti-immigration campaign by ferrying detained migrants from California to Texas.
