Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem delivered a sharp two-word response to illegal immigrants whose lawsuit against her was dismissed.
Noem, who earned the name “ICE Barbie” for her glam combat-ready looks, didn’t hold back as she plans to send the 10 men to Guantánamo Bay in Cuba.
The American Civil Liberties Union supported these immigrants, even though many faced serious charges, by attempting to sue the DHS and halt their deportation.
However, on Thursday, Noem revealed a court document indicating that the lawsuit was abandoned as some plaintiffs had already exited the country, and the remaining individuals chose not to proceed.
In a fiery post on X, the secretary celebrated her department’s latest victor, and said, “Suck it.”
The internet descended into chaos over the tweet, with supporters cheering for Noem’s commitment to enforcing border security.
“Kristi has grit! Love this cowgirl,” one person said of the former Governor of South Dakota.
Another person wrote, “I voted for this” as a different fan gushed, “Best response ever!”
Bitter haters fumed over the brazen post, but supporters said it’s the exact message they want people to see.
“For all the pearl clutches in her comment section crying about her language, suck it up buttercups, this is exactly what I voted for!” another person wrote.
Donald Trump has continued to fulfill his promise of an immigration crackdown to voters, and just recently offered a free flight and a $1,000 check to illegal immigrants who self-deport.
The DHS has described this option as a “dignified way to leave the US” and stressed that anyone who elects to move out now will have the option to come back legally.
Earlier this month, Noem said that at least one immigrant had already taken a flight from Chicago, Illinois, back to their home in Honduras.
“If you are here illegally, self-deportation is the best, safest, and most cost-effective way to leave the United States to avoid arrest,” Noem said.
The secretary has amassed a huge following for her showstopping appearances at the US-Mexico border, as she always has her long brown hair in curls with a full face of makeup.
She oftentimes joins border agents by holding a massive gun and donning bulletproof vests while she warns violent criminals hiding in the US that their days are numbered.

NOEM PROBLEM
Trump had his eye on Noem for months before taking office, even when she rocketed to infamy for announcing that she shot her dog to death.
In her book, No Going Back, the governor opened up about the joys and struggles of living in rural South Dakota on a large property.
One massive sticking point was her dog Cricket, who constantly misbehaved and got into trouble despite her desperate attempts to establish discipline.
She knew that she would have to take drastic measures when one day, Cricket escaped their home and killed her neighbor’s chickens.
“At that moment, I realized I had to put her down,” she wrote in the book.
Noem grabbed Cricket and a gun and put the doomed pooch in a gravel pit before finishing the grim dog.
“It was not a pleasant job, but it had to be done,” she said.
Noem shared the story as an example of how, no matter what horrific responsibilities the job entails, she is the person to get it done.
