Trump Airs Concerns Over ICE Barbie’s Expensive Self-Promotional Ad Blitz

Donald Trump has reportedly grown concerned over how much the Department of Homeland Security has spent on TV spots that puff up the profile of ‘ICE Barbie’ Kristi Noem.

Despite internal complaints that Noem is tightening and heavily controlling operational budgets inside DHS, the 54-year-old Homeland Security secretary decided to green-light a $220 million immigration ad campaign featuring her prominently, raising conflict-of-interest concerns and questions around its success.

Kristi Noem films one of her latest for-TV ads, which has raised questions around its funding and a conflict of interest with her main spokesperson, Tricia McLaughin. / Griemsman Performance Horses Facebook
