Among the stranger controversies alleged is one claiming that Noem had ordered a Coast Guard pilot to be fired after she was forced to switch from one plane to another because of a maintenance issue, which caused a favorite blanket to be left behind amid the confusion.

The pilot was abruptly told he had been dismissed over the blunder and ordered to take a commercial flight home, only to then be advised that he had, in fact, been reinstated because no one else was available to continue the journey, according to the WSJ.

The DHS spokesperson did not address the incident but claimed instead that the secretary has “made personnel decisions to deliver excellence.”
