The Department of Homeland Security thanked NBC?s ?Saturday Night Live? for its sketch poking fun at Secretary Kristi Noem and her effort to recruit federal agents to join the Trump administration?s mass deportation effort.

The sketch opened with Amy Poehler as Attorney General Pam Bondi testifying
at a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing.

?My name is Pam Bondi. I spell it with an ?i? because I ain?t gonna answer
any of your questions,? Poehler said. ?My time is valuable. The DOJ has many ongoing operations, and we?re moving like Kash Patel?s eyeballs ? very
quickly in multiple directions at once.?

Poehler was later joined by Tina Fey, who played a dolled-up Noem donning an DHS cap and holding a rifle.

?That?s right. It?s me, Kristi Noem,? Fey said. ?I spell my name with an ?i? because that?s how I thought it was spelled. And I?m the rarest type of
person in Washington, D.C. ? a brunette that Donald Trump listens to,? said Fey.

Fey also touched on Noem?s stance on the government shutdown.

?Our government agents are working without pay. Luckily, my boys at ICE don?t mind, they?re in it for the love of the game. And how did I find them? By running ads like this,? said Fey in one clip shared by DHS.

DHS took the clip to then introduce an ad set to rap music showing ICE agents arresting illegal immigrants.

?SNL is absolutely right?the Democrats? shutdown does need to end!? DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin told The Daily Wire.

Thanks for the free advertisement @NBCSNL

Bondi also joined in on the fun, suggesting that she and Noem ?should ? recreate? the image of Fey as the armed DHS secretary and Poehler as the nation?s top cop.

.?@Sec_Noem?, should we recreate this picture in Chicago?
