Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem is reportedly backing a reality TV competition where pre-vetted immigrants would compete in themed challenges for the chance to fast-track U.S. citizenship and win "American" prizes.
Noem, dubbed "ICE Barbie" by detractors, has faced mounting criticism since taking over DHS in January 2025 for prioritizing photo ops and dramatized field visits over policy execution, the Daily Mail reported.
