Welp. She is “an inferior officer” — in both the Constitutional sense — and plain English parlance. She is plainly… inferior, in every sense of the word.
She has no authority to countermand, disobey or revoke a federal court TRO. But she thinks her Black Sharpie has that power. Not so. [Now we need the Democrats in Congress to hold the line — and let the GOP shutdown the government, until the same are ready to zero out ICE Barbie’s budget — and start over. Killings via a vastly slush-funded, largely unaccountable private militia [ICE / DHS] are not what the founders had in mind.]
In any event, here is her patent-lunacy in full — pulled from an exhibit (in the federal litigation that has preliminarily enjoined her attempts at bossing the Congress around, in DC), and filed in open court:
…On January 8, 2026, I issued a new policy directing that requests by Members of Congress to visit an ICE facility be submitted at least seven days in advance of the visit.
On February 2, 2026, in Neguse v. ICE, a judge in the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia temporarily enjoined DHS from enforcing that policy or otherwise requiring any plaintiff to provide advance notice before conducting oversight visits for a period of 14 days….
The court concluded that DHS’s policy remains inconsistent with Section 527(b) of the Department’s appropriation [funding]. It is odd that the court issued this decision given the appropriation containing Section 527(b) lapsed on January 31, 2026. [Note that Noem has no standing to call a USDC court’s order “odd”. She may appeal it, but she cannot just sign a new memo (ignoring it). That is the stuff of… Putin.]
As a result of the [funding] lapse, Section 527 is not currently in effect. Therefore, as of this date, I am issuing this new policy that is identical in substance to the January 8 access policy. The General Counsel will provide further guidance regarding the effective date of this policy in light of the court’s order….
What an idiotic faux cowgirl she is. Sit your leather-tanned face self down, ICE Barbie.
