Shit or get off the pot! We do not have time for this kind of posting from sitting senators with the ability to affect real change in the direction we are in.
Kristi Noem is telling ICE agents they can forcibly enter your home without a judicial warrant.
That is unconstitutional.
History will judge us if we do not stand up to the lawlessness and cruelty of this administration.

Parents said the food was contaminated with mold and worms & that children were so under so much stress that they were hitting their own faces & wetting themselves.
Analysis by The Marshall Project of ICE data obtained by the Deportation Data Project found that the Trump administration’s revival of family detention has swept thousands of children into ICE custody. At least 3,800 children under 18, including 20 infants, have been booked since Trump took office.
ICE Threw Thousands of Kids in Detention, Many For Longer Than Court-Prescribed Limit
Former immigration staffers argue ICE is choosing to detain families for prolonged periods to speed deportations and compel them to leave.
