Noem’s bag was stolen by a masked man Sunday night while she was having dinner with her family in Washington, D.C.

The suspect who was arrested Saturday in the theft of Secretary Kristi Noem’s purse is in the country illegally, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia said in an interview with NBC News.

Ed Martin said a second suspect who also is in the country illegally is being sought by law enforcement.

It is not believed the suspect targeted Noem because she was the Department of Homeland Security secretary, Martin said.

“There is no indication it was because of that. It was frankly, it was a nice looking purse,” Martin said, in a recorded telephone interview.

In the call, Martin said Immigration and Customs Enforcement is now involved.

“President Trump’s direction to us is we charge these folks that are here illegally and we prosecute them, as well as deport them when need be, you know, as soon as that can happen,” Martin said, adding, “What I can tell you is he won’t be back on the streets in America.”

The person who took the bag knew what he was doing, Martin said.

“This was not an amateur. This was a person, a thief, that knew how to do this. You could see how he scouted the room out.”

No further information about the man’s identity was available.

A D.C. Metropolitan Police spokesperson declined to comment.

As DHS secretary, Noem receives Secret Service protection.

When asked for comment from the U.S. Secret Service agent that was providing protection for Noem, the agency's spokesperson Anthony Guglielmi said, “For the safety of our agents and officers, we are not in a position to confirm or comment at this time. Should criminal charges be filed, the Department of Homeland Security will provide public information in accordance with established procedures.”

Noem’s purse was stolen when a masked man walked into Capital Burger, a restaurant in D.C., on Sunday night. The man ed two plainclothes Secret Service officers who were sitting at the bar on his way to her table, which was upstairs.

He then sat down next to Noem’s table, where she was eating with her family, and put his foot on her purse to drag it towards himself, according to two sources familiar who viewed the surveillance footage. Then, he swiftly picked it up, tucked it under his jacket and walked out, ing the protection agents on his way out.

Noem’s purse contained $3,000 cash, as well as her DHS access badge, her port, various credit cards, blank checks, a set of keys and her driver’s license.

The investigation is being handled by the Metropolitan Police and the U.S. Secret Service.

NBC News asked Noem about the situation on Monday at the White House Easter Egg Roll. She said she couldn’t provide a comment or details.

“I don’t think I can comment on it yet,” she said. “It’s not resolved yet.”

This guy has just earned himself a one-way ticket back to his home country.
For those who don’t know the story, here’s what happened: Last week a thief stole the US Homeland Security Secretary’s handbag while she was in a restaurant. He got caught, and it turns out he was in the US illegally.

I doubt he knew who she was, otherwise, he wouldn’t have been *** enough to try it. Of course, he was bound to get caught in the end. Shalom illegal!

Hmmm na who do that guy self?

Sometimes I try to understanding what goes through the mind of a thief during their operation.

Like you'll comfortably take what doesn't belong to you and walk away without feeling anything. No remorse, no feeling of guilt, no conscience...

Na wa o.

Village people at work.

Does he want to say that he is not aware of Trump’s decision to deport illegal people and aliens from the USA? Does he want to say that he is not aware of the arrests and deportations going on all around the USA? Does he want to say that stealing should be his profession, even as a person without documents?

Now that he allowed his village people locate him, he must return to reside with them, never to return to the USA in his life. That lady looks very hard and will make sure the man is deported in chains.

No be go call am mad man remain?

End time illegal immigrant pickpocket

His village people really really mean am

Believe their lies.

if na naija now 2 years them never catch the person because he wear mask

Imagine if she was to be killed, and two security agent were there guarding her,


OUR LIVES IS IN THE HAND OF GOD, NOT MAN.

Hope it's not our brother's.

Make Trump no finally ban us

The whole thing is starting to look staged. So an illegal immigrant just happened to snatch the purse of the boss of homeland security. Smells like BS

petty thief on TV

Was this staged?

How can a masked man just walk in a high end restaurant, go past her security detail to steal her purse??

A masked man walked past 2 secret service agents on his way to steal a purse of a DHS boss?

Name of the suspect? Not released, picture , not released ..

Thousands of ordinary Americans experience this yearly, only reason this made the news is because of the person involved. High end restaurants are not as secured as y'all are led to believe

voltron14:
Believe their lies.

lol…I know say na the narrative wey dem wan push be that

That's bare faced audacity

Hilariously, many criminals in Americans think they'll remain uncaught if they wear a mask to commit crime .

Village people and their sophisticated strings pulling operations.

Lol

It doesn't add up.
She could easily have been an easy target for assasination..

This is a big fat lie.... It's very convenient to say he's a illegal migrant.....

Stupiiiiddd people. Your in another country illegally and you're committing crimes.

I can't fathom how guests do sttupiiid and abhorrent things where they originally don't belong.

It's like how some of our people go to India, SA, Asia, transporting druuggs there.
It's about how people, not Yorubbas, live in Yorubba lands and sell fake things there or say Lagos is not Yorubba land... or about how marauding Fulanis enter into other people' lands and kill them in their farms.

These things are crass fooooolery... how could you be in America, a land famed for progress and opportunities and you choose to be pickpocket or deal in drugggs... small time, we shout xenophobia. I hate very stuuupiid people so much... the guests who harm their hosts...

No details provided about so called thief …. Makes it seem very likely they are lies to boost their anti immigration propaganda

Her security details who let that happen unnoticed need to be questioned.

My doubt there is, out of every guest in the building.. the thief stole a purse of a DHS boss.. a masked man walked past secret service agents..walking into a restaurant where a DHS boss was dinning.. didn't raise any alarm?

Secret service agent just allowed a masked man to walk around a restaurant??

Neither the name nor the picture of the thief have been released..

Most likely, just like the when they arrested a guy that was allegedly was in the golf course to take out Trump.. the guy is from north carolina, not even from Florida..

moreover, Trump's visit to the golf course that day was not scheduled, it was impromptu.. but somehow the guy that was allegedly planning to take him out was in the golf course for 12 hours waiting for Trump to arrive?

Whats next on their list? A pregnant lady from Honduras that arrived in the U.S illegally to have her baby was arrested at the supreme court where she came to steal the judgment on the birthright citizenship??
