Democratic senator John Fetterman has called on Donald Trump to immediately fire Kristi Noem after the fatal shootings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Fetterman, of Pennsylvania, said in a statement: President Trump: I make a direct appeal to immediately fire Secretary Noem. Americans have died. She is betraying DHS's core mission and trashing your border security legacy. DO NOT make the mistake President Biden made for not firing a grossly incompetent DHS Secretary.
You know, people use Orwellian they overused the word. Here, Orwellian fit, because time and time again, you would see video of Americans being beaten or, in two cases, gunned down in the streets and DHS, their spokespeople and especially Kristi Noem, going back to Renee Good, lying through her teeth with her cowboy hat on, talking about snowbanks, just making sh*t up about dead Americans gunned down in the street dead Americans gunned down in the street!
President Donald Trump has announced he will send Tom Homan to Minneapolis, an apparent benching of DHS honcho Kristi Noem, who has reportedly been at odds with the border czar. Trump announced the move via his Truth Social platform on Monday morning, two days after the shooting of Minneapolis VA nurse Alex Pretti by Border Patrol agents. I am sending Tom Homan to Minnesota tonight.
Here is what Barkley said on Saturday evening: Going back to, I think her name was Renee Good, and today it's just sad, man. It's scary, it's sad, and it's going to end bad. It's already ended badly twice. And somebody's got to step up and be adults, because, man, two people have died for no reason. And it's just sad.
He was her political adviser when she was South Dakota's governor. "Kristi is the face of DHS. Corey is the brains. He gets things done," one senior administration official told Axios. Driving the news: Lewandowski's continued involvement in DHS became clear last week, when an Axios reporter saw him standing at a gate at Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport, speaking loudly into his phone as he appeared to discuss DHS vendors' contracts.
Don't say his name! Noem said. I mean, for heaven's sakes we shouldn't have people to continue to dox law enforcement when they have an 8000% increase in death threats against them. His name is public, Brennan replied. I know, but that doesn't mean it should continue to be said, Noem responded. She went on to claim that, people have attacked him and his family, and they are in jeopardy.
Like, platforming people and giving them the space to say their point, and just that is problematic. But when you go up there and you let somebody basically say all the dumb sh*t out their mouth, and then you tell them why you're 100% wrong, that's good. I like action. That's what I think I feel like you're modeling good behavior.
Noem's version of the story-which has been captured in multiple videos, from multiple angles-is that the mother-of-three "attacked" the ICE officers and "attempted to run them over and ram them with her vehicle" while they were trying to push their own vehicles out of the snow. The secretary doubled down on those claims on Fox News later on Thursday, saying Good was "an anti-ICE rioter" who "weaponized her vehicle."
Noem spoke with CNN's Jake Tapper about the death of Renee Nicole Good, a queer wife and mother who was shot three times by ICE agent Jonathan Ross while fleeing from him in her car. Despite extensive video footage proving otherwise, Noem has claimed the officer's life was in danger and accused Good of weaponizing her vehicle against him. She even called Good a domestic terrorist.
US homeland security chief Kristi Noem said late on Thursday that President Donald Trump ordered her to pause the diversity visa lottery which was used by the suspect at the Brown University shooting. "At President Trump's direction, I am immediately directing USCIS (United States Citizenship and Immigration Services) to pause the DV1 program to ensure no more Americans are harmed by this disastrous program."
I read a story that I was unhappy with Pete because he was attacking drug dealers, Trump replied, adding: I said, That's not exactly right. I would say very much the opposite. Pete Hegseth has been phenomenal. I read a story recently I'm unhappy with Kristi [Noem]. I'm so happy with her. I mean, we have a closed border. We have a border that's the best border in the history of our country. Why would I be unhappy with that? She's fantastic, actually.
Noem treated the players to a poem from one of her favorite movies, The Grey, starring Liam Neeson that she said she used for every single challenge that she has in life, whether physical, mental, or political. The poem was written by Alfred Lord Tennyson, based on Shakespeare's line from his poem The Charge of the Light Brigade. Once more into the fray.
Detroit Metropolitan Airport has placed signs at the entrances to its security checkpoints, making clear that it doesn't approve of the video message. But because the areas are leased by the Transportation Security Administration, the airport operator isn't in charge of those screens. A bright yellow sign, with "attention" written in all caps, says, "The views expressed in this TSA-controlled video do not represent the views of the Wayne County Airport Authority." "The Wayne County Airport Authority does not engage in partisan politics," it adds.
San Jose Mineta International airport isn't airing a video of Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem blaming Democrats for operational delays during the federal shutdown due to its political content. Oakland, San Francisco, Sacramento and Stockton have also chosen to not play Noem's video in their airports. In the 37-second video, Noem said airport operations are being impacted and federal Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees are working without pay because "Democrats in Congress refuse to fund the federal government."
Saturday Night Live opened its latest episode with a cold open spoofing Pam Bondi's recent congressional hearing, in which the attorney general clashed with senators through evasive answers and sharp personal jabs. This week's host, Amy Poehler, played the role of Bondi, while her longtime friend and fellow SNL alum Tina Fey made a surprise cameo as Secretary of Department of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem - hair extensions, Botox, and AR-15 included.
Regarding a phone call Trump had last month with Oregon Governor Tina Kotek, the president said he was taken aback by her insistence that Portland is not the hellscape he has been saying it is. I spoke to the governor, she was very nice, Trump said last month. But I said, Well wait a minute, am I watching things on television that are different from what's happening? My people tell me different.'
President Donald Trump was joined by his Cabinet in the White House Wednesday afternoon to discuss the way in which they're combating Antifa. In late September, Trump signed an Executive Order designating Antifa as a domestic terrorist organization. As noted in a report from BBC, however, the government has previously determined that Antifa short for anti-fascist was better defined as an ideology than as a formal organization.
The last message he had texted me was the day before he passed away, Noem answered. And it said, 'We have to hold these mayors and local officials accountable for what they're doing.' I was traveling and in meetings in a different time zone and I didn't see it and missed it. I will always feel bad that I didn't respond because I would have said, 'Absolutely, I'm on it,' which I am, but I think he knew that, said Noem.
This individual was a known human smuggler, a MS-13 gang member, an individual who was a wife-beater, and someone who was so perverted that he solicited nude photos from minors. And even his fellow human traffickers told him to knock it off, he was so sick in what he was doing and how he was treating small children, Noem said in her original, full answer.
"I'm going to be going out tonight, I'm going to keep it a secret," the president joked to radio host Todd Starnes. "I'm going to be out tonight, I think with the police, and with the military, of course. So we're going to do a job."
