I was on the ground today in Broadview with Senator Durbin to conduct Congressional oversight on ICE’s processing facility.  As elected officials, we have a duty to ensure transparency within federal facilities. What is ICE hiding? Kristi Noem, what are you hiding?

Pete Hegseth announced an agreement today to build a Qatari Emiri Air Force facility at a U.S. Air Force Base in Idaho.

Reminder: Earlier this year, the Trump admin accepted a Boeing 747 jet as a gift from the Qatari royal family.

Sending billions to Argentina while laying off Americans at home.

Letting Qatar build a base on US soil coz they bribed Trump with a plane and are investing billions in his personal business ventures.

Doesn’t seem like “America First”, does it?
