DHS Blasts NY Mag, Touts 300K+ ICE Removals Under Noem

DHS issued a forceful rebuttal to a New York Magazine cover story suggesting Corey Lewandowski is effectively running the department, insisting Secretary Kristi Noem makes all decisions. In statements to Fox News Digital, DHS officials derided the reporting and highlighted enforcement metrics, citing hundreds of thousands of arrests and removals. NY Magazine defended its piece as thoroughly reported and fact-checked. The exchange underscores DHS’s broader messaging push pairing media pushback with deportation statistics.
