I don’t mean to question the qualifications of the head of the United States Department of Homeland Security, but can you really trust someone to keep a country safe when they can’t even keep track of their personal belongings?
As per CNN, Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem fell victim to a thief while eating dinner at a restaurant in downtown Washington, DC, the other night.
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. Yikes.
The Secret Service, which naturally provides security for Noem, reviewed CCTV footage at the Capital Burger restaurant and saw a white male wearing a medical mask steal her bag and leave the restaurant.

Just goes to show; just because you’re the head of the Department of Homeland Security, it doesn’t mean that you’re not susceptible to having your bag snatched from the table of a restaurant like the rest of us. Still, it’s just not a great look really, especially when your job is to secure American’s borders, airports and shipping ports. How are you supposed to do that when you can’t even secure your own wallet, medication, keys, IDs, and makeup?
As bad as this looks on Kristi Noem though, it looks even worse for the Secret Service who are still investigating the incident as we speak. According to the CCTV footage, the suspect is a white guy wearing a COVID mask in 2025. How is someone that weird allowed to get within a few feet of Kristi Noem in the first place?
I’m guessing this lad, whoever he is, had no idea who he was robbing but he’s clearly been smart enough to not use her credit cards because I’m pretty sure he’ll be surrounded and arrested within 5 seconds of doing so.
Then again, he’s probably happy enough with the $3,000 he managed to swipe. Who the hell carries $3,000 in cash on them anyway? Either buying drugs or had just accepted a bribe, if you ask me.
