Noem led the arresting party to the car wash where Jesus was with his fellow workers. She then approached Jesus and identified him with a kiss, a prearranged signal to the ICE agents. Following Noem's signal, the ICE agents, along with local law enforcement and the National Guard, arrested Jesus.

I use AI inputs in my work, but the final result is carefully enough edited and proof read, so that I can honestly refer to the final output as my own. Anything less is irresponsible.

Trump: "They have Jasmine Crockett -- a low IQ person. AOC is low IQ. Have her pass the exams I decided to take when I was at Walter Reed. They're cognitive tests. Let AOC go against Trump. Let Jasmine go against Trump. The first couple questions are easy -- a tiger, an elephant, a giraffe ... "

Donald Trump openly lying (or he doesn't know and doesn't care, more likely) in a way that is easily disproven. Can you believe it? Of course you can, unless you are MAGA.
