Senior ICE officials went to extremes to shield their sensitive conversations amid fears they were being spied on by Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski’s goons, the Daily Beast can reveal.

As Homeland Security secretary, Noem, 54, and her chief adviser and rumored lover Lewandowski, 52, created a workplace environment at the Department of Homeland Security’s D.C. HQ described by one experienced staffer as the “most toxic” they had ever experienced, and one rife with “distrust, abuse, and corruption.”

One of the more shocking examples was how top ICE bosses decided to use a high-tech electronic device to mask their private discussions, amid fears they were being monitored, sources at the agency have told the Beast.

One said career officials would “use sound machines,” particularly “in the early days” of Noem and Lewandowski’s tenure, because they “thought they were spying” on them.
