Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem Insults Canadians in Bizarre Stunt at U.S. Border
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has been criticized for a bizarre stunt during an official visit to the U.S.-Canada border. On a trip to Derby, Vermont, in January following the killing of a U.S. Border Patrol agent, ICE Barbie Noem visited a library which is directly bisected by the border with Quebec. A line of black tape on the floor of a reading room of the Haskell Free Library and Opera House marks the spot where Derby ends, and Stanstead, Quebec, begins.
