A Department of Homeland Security mouthpiece hired last month has quit over fears that her ties to “ICE Barbie” Kristi Noem’s alleged lover could sink her in MAGAworld, according to a report.ROG62 » 16 Feb 2026, 11:14 am » wrote: ↑ Another Ploy by the Left to Protect Alien Criminals...
Leftists believe they have cornered President Donald Trump on the issue of deportations by debunking his claim that Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) has targeted the “worst of the worst” criminal aliens. They are cherry-picking data from an internal Department of Homeland Security (DHS) document obtained by CBS News, indicating that just 14% of the roughly 400,000 arrests by ICE since Trump returned to the White House are for “violent criminal offenses.” This has unleashed voices on the left who accuse the president and his administration of lying about the real intent of the now-concluded Operation Metro Surge in Minneapolis and related efforts to round up illegal aliens.
It did not take long for DHS Spokesperson Tricia McLaughlin to put that 14% number in perspective. She said in a statement that at least eight categories of heinous crimes committed by illegal aliens targeted for arrest and deportation are not included in the 14%, saying: “Drug trafficking, Distribution of child pornography, burglary, fraud, DUI, embezzlement, solicitation of a minor, human smuggling are all categorized as ‘nonviolent crimes.’”
The DHS document cited by CBS News shows that ICE arrested over 22,000 individuals with charges or convictions involving dangerous drugs, 6,100 with weapons offenses on their records, and some 30,000 charged with or convicted of driving while intoxicated. Another 5,000 arrestees had burglary charges or convictions, and 118,000 more had criminal charges or convictions for “other” crimes. Add that to the 56,000 “violent” criminals, and that brings to 237,000 the total number of individuals arrested by ICE for crimes that the overwhelming majority of Americans would consider ripe for deportation.
That is almost 60% of ICE arrests, a far cry from the 14% number being bandied about on the left.

liars figure and figures lie...like the wheels on the bus...
Katie Zacharia, a frequent Fox News guest whom the DHS hired as deputy assistant secretary for public affairs last month, resigned on Monday, the Daily Mail reports.
The 42-year-old lawyer’s exit comes after President Donald Trump fired Noem, 54, as DHS secretary, and ousted Corey Lewandowski, 52, with whom Noem is alleged to have had an affair.
