Episode description

From 'Snow Queen' to 'ICE Maiden' - how did a beauty pageant-winning 'farmgirl' from South Dakota become the public face of Donald Trump's immigration crackdown?

As the head of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem holds one of the highest offices in the US government - despite facing criticism after saying she shot her dog.

But will Ms Noem's love of the limelight also lead to her downfall, following the fatal shooting of two US citizens in Minneapolis by immigration officers she ultimately controls?

Niall is joined by Jon Schaff, a political science professor at Northern State University in South Dakota.

Producers: Natalie Ktena, Soila Apparicio & Emily Hulme
