ICE Barbie Accused of Secretly Taking a Cut of Political Donations

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been accused of taking an $80,000 cut of the money she raised for a nonprofit that promotes her political career and agenda, and then failing to report the income on her federal disclosure form.

In 2023, while Noem served as the governor of South Dakota, the nonprofit American Resolve Policy Fund—which is affiliated with Noem’s American Resolve PAC—paid Noem a 10 percent commission on the $800,000 she brought in for the nonprofit that year, according to ProPublica.

The money represented a significant boost to her roughly $130,000 government salary, but Noem failed to include it on the federal disclosure form she filed when President Donald Trump tapped her to join his Cabinet, according to ProPublica. The outlet discovered the payments on American Resolve’s tax filings.
