In a shocking security breach, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was robbed by a masked individual while dining at a restaurant in Washington, D.C. Despite being under Secret Service protection, Noem had her purse stolen Sunday night. The thief made off with several valuables, including $3,000 in cash, her passport, DHS badge, and other personal items.
“The Secret Service, which provides security for Noem, reviewed security camera footage at the restaurant and saw an unknown white male wearing a medical mask steal her bag and leave the restaurant, a law enforcement source said,” CNN reported. “The thief got away with Noem’s driver’s license, medication, apartment keys, passport, DHS access badge, makeup bag, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash.”

“The Secret Service, which provides security for Noem, reviewed security camera footage at the restaurant and saw an unknown white male wearing a medical mask steal her bag and leave the restaurant, a law enforcement source” told CNN.
Noem announced last week that some of the people allegedly responsible for leaking information about Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids have been caught. “We have identified two leakers of information here at the Department of Homeland Security who have been telling individuals about our operations and putting law enforcement lives in jeopardy,” she said in a post on X on Friday. “We plan to prosecute these two individuals and hold them accountable for what they’ve done.”
