  • This is The Guardian.

  • The face really of Trump's immigration crackdown.

  • She earned the perhaps slightly unfair moniker Ice Barbie.

  • She was saying all the right things, she was flattering the president,

  • but then she started to generate headlines for maybe the wrong reasons.

  • This ad really seems to have struck a bit of a nerve.

  • She made what maybe was her fatal error.

  • She said, Trump knew all about this ad.

  • Trump was asked about this and he said, no, I didn't know anything about that.

  • He started to realize that basically her made for TV shtick wasn't kind of working quite the way it should have.

  • Donald Trump has sacked his Homeland Security secretary.

  • What does that mean for the future of ICE?

  • From the Guardian's Today in Focus, this is The Latest with me, Norshi Nickvile.

  • Joining me today is Guardian US live news editor, Chris Michael.

  • Chris, thanks for being here.

  • Thanks for having me.

  • So Kristi Noem, the Homeland Security Secretary for the US has gone.

  • She has been sacked in an announcement made by Trump on social media just moments before she was due to address this conference in Tennessee.

  • It looked incredibly awkward.

  • Now, I think she's the first major casualty of Trump's cabinet in this second term.
