Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem lashed out at CNN after it reported she delayed signing off on vital federal aid for areas of Texas devastated by flash flooding. Speaking to Fox News’ Fox & Friends, Noem—dubbed “ICE Barbie” for her cosplay photo-ops—denied the claims as “fake news” and accused the network, long loathed by President Donald Trump, of being “absolute trash.” “Our Coast Guard, our Border Patrol, BORTAC teams were there immediately. Every single thing they asked for, we were there,” Noem said Thursday morning. “Nobody there has said anything about not getting everything they wanted immediately or that they needed, and I’m proud of the work we’ve done to support that.”
