Kristi Noem prays to God for ‘hedge of protection’ around ICE at official DHS meeting



Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem prayed for a "hedge of protection" around federal agents while meeting at an official Immigration and Customs Enforcement facility.

According to MAGA influencer Benny Johnson, Noem began a meeting at the Portland ICE office with a prayer to Jesus Christ.

In her prayer, Noem asked God to give her agency "wisdom and discernment to make the best decisions not just for the people that are here enforcing the law but also for the citizens of this country."

"And Lord, I just ask you to continue to put a hedge of protection around these officers, keep them safe, Lord, but that also that you continue to bless each and every one of them and their families," she continued. "And Lord, that you would protect the freedoms that we all enjoy that we're given to us by you."

"We love you, we praise you," she concluded. "Amen."

According to Johnson, the prayer was the "first thing" Noem did upon arriving at the office.

"We are witnessing incredible things," he wrote on X.
