Noem Demands Iron Curtain: Vows ‘Full Travel Ban’ on Nations ‘Flooding US with Killers and Leeches’
In a blistering announcement that immediately ignited a political firestorm, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem declared Monday she is urging President Donald Trump to enact a “full travel ban” on every country she accuses of “flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies.” The call to action, delivered in a searing social media post following a meeting with the president, framed immigration as a direct threat to national security and economic stability. Noem’s rhetoric escalated sharply, blaming certain immigrants for “slaughtering our heroes” and “sucking dry our hard-earned tax dollars,” while vowing, “WE DON’T WANT THEM. NOT ONE.”
The secretary’s drastic proposal follows the alleged attack on two National Guard members in Washington, D.C., last week by an Afghan immigrant who entered the U.S. in 2021 under the Biden administration’s evacuation program. Noem pointed to this incident as proof of what she termed catastrophic vetting failures by the prior administration, using it as the cornerstone for her sweeping recommendation. While the announcement electrifies the administration’s political base, it sets the stage for intense legal battles and diplomatic confrontations, marking one of the most aggressive immigration enforcement postures yet from the Trump-led Department of Homeland Security.
