REPORTER: Why choose to do this press conference this way? Your agency is about to run out of funding. You were just in Arizona last week. And you bussed all of us to a secure facility. This doesn't seem top secret.
KRISTI NOEM: Oh my goodness -- this is our critical infrastructure

All of my group chats are responding to Homan’s announcement by asking everyone to double down because:
1. ICE is still out there and abducting people today. We can’t trust the occupation is over until we actually see it.
2. People are going to be in an economic crisis for a very long time.

Someone was abducted at 10 AM by ICE on Central Ave. Their coworker says they’ve lived here for over 20 years, are documented, and have 3 kids who were born here.
Don’t be fooled by headlines when they’ve been lying to us the whole time. We still need you out patrolling until every agent is gone.

"Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs... Here, the surgeon acts as—is—a soldier."
I'm honestly speechless.
I'm honestly speechless.
![Examining the bodies returned to their people after the most recent so-called ceasefire, Palestinian doctors noted that, in some bodies “the rib cage and ribs were clipped with a sharp saw—a medical saw, a bone saw—and the sternum, along with the central part of the ribs, [were] lifted to allow for the removal of the heart and lungs without damage to the organ being taken.” Organ procurement, with few exceptions like skin and cornea, requires that the body be either alive—via brain death—or just-dead—via circulatory death. It is plausible that some Palestinian prisoners’ torture led to brain death. It is also possible their torturers felt no need to wait. Palestinian witnesses have reported that some prisoners were alive at the time they were taken for organ extraction. In one batch of bodies, the organs removed were those commonly transplanted: heart, liver, lungs. The transplant surgeon waits for a person to die; the soldier can’t. The settler surgeon wields his mastery over the body to serve the state. Here, the surgeon acts as—is—a soldier.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:tgw3d4hvw3x5ijrxax7lg26u/bafkreiesvmsm3hrmrwxi7d7wvuaxc7u7oovqonpx2tdpxdnjhlgxh7lhni@jpeg)
