In an appalling security breach, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem was robbed by a masked man in a DC restaurant.
Kristi Noem has Secret Service protection but a masked man was able to snatch her purse while she dined at a restaurant on Sunday night.
The thief took off with Noem’s purse which included $3,000 in cash, her passport, DHS badge and other valuables.

“The Secret Service, which provides security for Noem, reviewed security camera footage at the restaurant and saw an unknown white male wearing a medical mask steal her bag and leave the restaurant, a law enforcement source said,” CNN reported.
“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,” CNN reported.

The Lone Ranger?.................
They should have a tracker tag in her bag and on her for that matter.
They caught it reviewing the video, but where were they in real time?!?
They are getting brazen
Meant to say a tracking tag on her, not sure they need a medical implant.
But really, for cabinet secretaries I think they should have what the rest of us have for our cars and keys. Maybe they do.
I’m lucky if I have $30 cash in my purse on any given day.
Sounds like a message is being sent to her. We don’t have your back!
It’s good that the robber didn’t have a pistol.
Secret Service protection?
A masked bandit?
Someone has some “‘splain’n” to do!
Very embarrassing - bet they wouldn’t have gotten that close to Hunter
Her detail was probably waiting outside (dumb), and she probably hung her bag on the back of her chair (really dumb).
The LoneDeRanger more like...LOL.
DC is rife with petty crime...its hard to not be mugged in certain areas.
The Donald said he would clean it up....Congress is taking DC back ....etc.
Maybe it will happen quickly now......
She should feel good about herself knowing she helped a poor person eat and get high for a few days...
The perp is one of Maxine Waters and Chuck Schumer’s disciples.
Sure doubt if this was happenstance. Trump is really going to be pissed.
Wow...some protection.
$3000 in cash in her purse... struck me as odd as well. Currently, my wife has about $25 in her purse and I have about $35 in my wallet. Kristi is from South Dakota however where you can never tell if you are going to drive by a hot deal on an old tractor on the way home.
