Noem: "Every single thing I've said has been factual about what's been going on in Mpls, in Minnesota...we've surged HSI there to focus on sex trafficking & child trafficking. It's so prevalent in MN. It's horrific...we're gonna keep hundreds of HSI officers there to continue to protect those kids."

Whoa‼️

This article from 2014: US Border Agents Intentionally Stepped in Front of Moving Vehicles to Justify Shooting at Them.

And remember, Jonathan Ross was a firearms trainer, a veteran, and spent over a decade working for DHS.

WELKER: Noem called it an "act of domestic terrorism." What's the evidence?

HOMAN: If they didn't have sanctuary policies--

W: To be clear, is anyone who protests ICE a domestic terrorist?

HOMAN: It's case by case. If you look at the definition of terrorism, it certainly could fall within it

WELKER: Where is that $50,000? Did you keep it?

HOMAN: I didn't take $50k from anybody & that's a question for the FBI. Bottom line I did nothing illegal.

WELKER: But was there $50k in the bag?

HOMAN: I'm not addressing it

WELKER: But did you keep the money?

HOMAN: $50k is ridiculous

WELKER: How do you justify an enforcement strategy that's making so many people feel less safe?

HOMAN: Because of the false media reports & members of Congress comparing ICE to terrorists

W: But these are protesters saying it

HOMAN: Because they're looking at media reports saying ICE are Nazis

Except, @chatterton.bsky.social, one of these two people is facing both state and federal charges, including the death penalty.

Whereas Jonathan Ross is being actively protected by an administration that started defaming Renee Good before her body was cold.

That is a meaningful difference!

This is an image of a federal agent shooting chemical munitions at a crowd at point blank range in Minneapolis on the day Renee Good was executed

Whatever your feelings on law enforcement, understand they don't apply here whatsoever because ICE categorically *has nothing to do with law enforcement*

The killing of Renee Good reveals, yet again, Trumpism’s violent, authoritarian essence. MAGA is at war with the reality of American society.

Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."

Just in case you were wondering why Ross was in front of Good’s vehicle, causing her to have to hard turn her vehicle to the right TO AVOID HITTING HIM when she was complying with an ICE agent’s order to move her vehicle. Coincidence? JD Vance, what do you think?

As I mentioned yesterday, they’re trying to get around the limits which in Section 527 of the annual appropriations bill. That bill says it’s limited to funds “made available … by this act.”

What this memo says is we are going to deny access, but only using funds from OBBBA (so a different act).
