Did Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem say on Fox News that calling ICE agents Nazis is rude and inaccurate because they don't wear uniforms? No, that's not true: A fabricated screenshot bears the watermark of an Instagram account carrying the tagline, "Dope Dad. Comedian. Satirist. Amateur Professional." The image in the post was taken from a June 2025 appearance on the CBS News program "Face the Nation", not Fox News. At no time in that appearance did Noem say the words attributed to her by the satire account.
The fake screenshot appeared in a post (archived here) published on Facebook by @JamboSchlarmbo on Dec. 5, 2025. It was captioned:
Fair enough.
This is the fabricated screenshot included with the post:

In the upper right corner of the image is the watermark @JamboSchlarmbo. Across the bottom margin is a fake Fox News chyron with the quote:
NOEM: "CALLING ICE AGENTS NAZIS IS RUDE AND INACCURATE. THEY DON'T WEAR UNIFORMS, AND ONLY A COUPLE OF THEM HAVE EVEN BEEN TO GERMANY."
The @JamboSchlarmbo Facebook account has a profile picture of a man with a red clown nose, but does not carry a satire disclaimer. The @JamboSchlarmbo Instagram account does have a disclaimer. It says:
Dope Dad. Comedian. Satirist. Amateur Professional.
A reverse image search for the photo of Noem using Google Lens points to a YouTube video of her June 8, 2025 appearance on Face the Nation (embedded below). A search of the transcript for key words (agent, Nazis, and Germany) produced no results. Noem did not say this quote during that appearance.
