During a press conference, Kristi Noem claimed that ICE has not detained or arrested any US citizens. This isn't true.
The reality is that at least 170 citizens have been held by immigration agents, including two kids with cancer.

Not fun fact according to the American Federation of Teachers: As of 2020, 25% of adjunct professors were eligible for public assistance. I had colleagues who used food stamps.
