Kristi Noem calls for new travel ban after National Guard shooting

The homeland security secretary said Monday night on X that she had just met with Trump, who later reposted her statement about new travel restrictions.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said Monday she is recommending a "full travel ban" from countries that are "flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies."

"I just met with the President. I am recommending a full travel ban on every damn country that’s been flooding our nation with killers, leeches, and entitlement junkies," Noem wrote on X.

"Our forefathers built this nation on blood, sweat, and the unyielding love of freedom—not for foreign invaders to slaughter our heroes, suck dry our hard-earned tax dollars, or snatch the benefits owed to AMERICANS.WE DON’T WANT THEM. NOT ONE," she added.

The Department of Homeland Security did not immediately respond to a request for comment about which countries Noem was referring to Monday night.

President Donald Trump shared her X post on Truth Social but did not comment on it.
