Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem got her groove on to Vanilla Ice’s “Ice Ice Baby” during Wednesday night’s New Year’s Eve bash at President Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort.

In a video posted by Katie Miller, wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, the cabinet official — mocked by her critics as “ICE Barbie” — clapped her hands and danced to the Miami-based rapper’s signature 1990 hit.

“ICE ICE Baby,” Katie Miller captioned the clip, which also included her husband stiffly bouncing along to the beat.

New Year’s Eve was an extra-joyful occasion for the Millers, who announced they were expecting a fourth child in 2026.

The New Year’s Eve gala was highlighted by remarks from Trump himself, who declared America is “doing great” as the first year of his second term wrapped up.

The guest list included first sons Don Jr. and Eric Trump, as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who stuck around South Florida after his Monday meeting with the commander-in-chief to discuss the status of the cease-fire in the Gaza Strip.

Also in attendance were DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, White House deputy chief of staff Dan Scavino and US Ambassador to India Sergio Gor.

Emirati billionaire Hussain Sajwani, who earlier this year pledged to invest $20 billion in US data centers, was also seen at the black-tie affair.

The party also included a speed-painted portrait of Jesus by Christian worship artist Vanessa Horabuena.

The art was auctioned off for charity, with Trump affixing his signature to boost the bidding.

The high bidder pledged $2.5 million for the local sheriff’s department and St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.
