加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽森猛烈抨击即将卸任的国土安全部部长克里斯蒂·诺姆的争议性广告活动，并要求该机构立即释放为洛杉矶野火恢复工作而滞留的5亿多美元联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）资金。
纽森在一份声明中称诺姆为”角色扮演芭比”，并指责她将2.2亿美元纳税人资金投入以自身形象为核心的政治广告活动，而非为火灾肆虐社区提供救灾援助。
“当克里斯蒂·诺姆将2.2亿美元纳税人资金投入以自己骑马形象为核心的政治广告活动时，洛杉矶火灾恢复所需的5亿多美元FEMA资金却在她的办公桌上积压停滞，”纽森在声明中表示，同时附上了诺姆骑马的广告照片。
“洛杉矶的家庭不应在她和唐纳德·特朗普玩政治游戏时等待救援。现在就释放这些资金，并将款项转用于帮助社区重建。”
2025年初，洛杉矶野火肆虐数周，摧毁了太平洋帕利塞德和阿尔塔adena等地区数千座房屋，造成数十亿美元损失。
纽森办公室表示，在诺姆领导下的国土安全部要求每项超过10万美元的部门合同、拨款或灾难补助都必须经她个人签署，包括FEMA公共援助和减灾拨款。州长称这一政策导致本已通过审核的拨款申请出现积压。
根据纽森办公室的数据，与洛杉矶火灾恢复相关的5亿多美元资金以及该地区约9400万美元减灾资金仍被搁置。这些资金通常用于重建学校、修复道路和加强基础设施以抵御未来灾害。
克里斯蒂·诺姆被解雇未能动摇民主党人，国土安全部停摆持续
纽森办公室称，这些延误正在影响峡谷和山麓社区的重建工作，包括帕萨迪纳和阿尔塔adena上方地区。当地机构在等待联邦报销时，受损的公园设施、封闭的步道起点和临时道路修复仍在原地。
唐纳德·特朗普总统在经历数周内部动荡后缩短了诺姆在国土安全部的任期，并任命她为”美洲盾牌特别特使”——这是新设立的职位，他称这是西半球更广泛安全倡议的一部分。白宫尚未详细说明该职位的具体职责范围。
诺姆在经历内部冲突和两次有争议的国会听证会（甚至有共和党议员就领导失误问题施压，包括广告活动，她称总统已批准）后被解除移民主管职务。
特朗普在Truth Social平台宣布，俄克拉荷马州参议员马克韦恩·穆林将于3月31日起接任，而诺姆将转向新设立的特使职位，总统称将在本周末详细说明该职位的具体职责。

Newsom rips Noem as ‘Kosplay Barbie’ over $220M ad campaign, demands DHS release $500M for LA wildfires
Gavin Newsom accused Kristi Noem of prioritizing a $220 million ad campaign featuring herself over LA fires disaster relief

California Gov. Gavin Newsom ripped outgoing Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem over her controversial ad campaign and demanded the agency immediately release more than $500 million in stalled FEMA funding for Los Angeles wildfire recovery.
Newsom, in a statement, labeled Noem “Kosplay Barbie” and accused her of prioritizing a $220 million taxpayer-funded ad campaign featuring herself over disaster relief for fire-ravaged communities.
“While Kristi Noem poured $220 million of taxpayer money into a political ad campaign featuring herself on horseback, more than $500 million in FEMA funding for LA fire recovery sat stalled on her desk,” Newsom said in a statement alongside a still photo of Noem riding a horse from the widely publicized ad.
“Families in Los Angeles shouldn’t have to wait while she and Donald Trump play politics. Release the funding now and redirect those dollars to help communities rebuild.”
The Los Angeles wildfires burned for weeks in early 2025, destroying thousands of homes across areas including Pacific Palisades and Altadena and causing tens of billions of dollars in estimated damage.
Newsom’s office said DHS under Noem required her personal sign-off on every department contract, grant or disaster award exceeding $100,000, including FEMA public assistance and hazard mitigation grants. The governor said the policy created a backlog of awards that had already been vetted, awaiting final approval.
According to Newsom’s office, more than $500 million tied to Los Angeles fire recovery remains stalled, along with roughly $94 million in hazard mitigation funding for the region. Those funds typically support rebuilding schools, repairing roads and strengthening infrastructure against future disasters.

The delays are affecting rebuilding efforts in canyon and foothill neighborhoods, including areas above Pasadena and Altadena, where damaged park facilities, fenced-off trailheads and temporary road repairs remain in place while local agencies await federal reimbursement, his office said.
President Donald Trump cut short Noem’s tenure at the Department of Homeland Security after weeks of internal turmoil and named her “Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas,” a newly created role he described as part of a broader Western Hemisphere security initiative. The White House has not yet detailed the scope of the position.
Noem was removed as the nation’s immigration chief after a turbulent stretch marked by internal clashes and two contentious congressional hearings where even some Republicans pressed her over alleged leadership missteps, including the ad campaign, which she said the president had signed off on.

Trump announced on Truth Social that Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., will replace her effective March 31, while Noem shifts to the newly created envoy role, which the president said he will detail this weekend.
