DHS will remain shutdown, GOP-controlled U.S. House passes 60-day continuing resolution to fund DHS, ignoring the plan passed by the GOP-controlled Senate earlier

 The Senate returns in 2 weeks to take up the matter.

Kristi Noem did a really fantastic job running DHS, didn't she?

 

 

Fetterman voted for this numbskull Mullin, who will be an improvement over Noem, if you can imagine that

At least we hope so.

 

 Trump’s DHS pick Markwayne Mullin advances out of Senate committee after tough confirmation hearing

... The vote was 8-7, with Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky, chair of the Senate panel, the lone Republican vote against the nomination and Sen. John Fetterman, D-Pa., the lone Democrat voting in favor. Republicans hold an 8-7 majority on the committee. ...

Paul’s “no” vote came after he lashed out at the nominee the day prior. Mullin recently said he understood why Paul’s neighbor physically attacked him in 2017 and called Paul, a libertarian-leaning Republican who often does not vote with his party, a “freaking snake.” Paul called Mullin “unrepentant.”

“I just wonder if someone who applauds violence against their political opponents is the right person to lead an agency that has struggled to accept limits to the proper use of force,” Paul said. ... 

Fetterman declined to speak to reporters outside the hearing room following the vote, instead referring them to a statement posted to his X.

“In January, I called on the president to fire Noem —and he did. I truly approached the confirmation of my colleague and friend, Senator Mullin, with an open-mind,” Fetterman said in the post. “We need a leader at DHS. We must reopen DHS. My AYE is rooted in a strong committed, constructive working relationship with Senator Mullin for our nation’s security.”

Noem has been lambasted by lawmakers on both sides of the aisle for her leadership. And polling on the Trump administration’s immigration policies flagged in the winter after two U.S. citizens were killed by federal agents during an immigration crackdown in Minneapolis in January.

Mullin, signaling a break from his predecessor said Wednesday that he would require immigration agents to obtain judicial warrants to enter private property. He also seemed open to rethinking Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s role in immigration crackdowns. ...

The critics ignore that Kristi Noem's DHS ad campaign was all Trump's idea and that she was saying so already in February 2025

 

Noem Everything a Cabinet Member Not Supposed To Be

R.T. Beckwith, MS Now

 

... made herself the star of a $220 million ad campaign that followed a no-bid contract ... 

 

 

'Self-Serving Glory Hound' Kristi Noem Got What She Deserved

Rich Lowry, NY Post

 

... Self-dealing played a direct role in Noem’s defenestration.

The department approved a $220 million contract — funneled in part through firms run by Noem and Lewandowski allies — for an ad campaign encouraging illegal immigrants to go home. 

The ad starred — who else? — Kristi Noem, on horseback and in chaps.

The implicit message was that if illegal immigrants didn’t leave on their own, she’d immediately form a posse and run them over the border. 

It was a production worthy of a spaghetti Western, or — more to the point, given her political ambitions — a commercial for a 2028 presidential campaign. 

Noem couldn’t defend the sketchy spending decisions, or the blatantly self-glorifying ad, or much of anything else in the brutal back-to-back House and Senate hearings that precipitated her doom. 

She’d already been taken down a notch after the Minneapolis ICE operation went sideways. ...

Trump threw Kristi Noem under the bus: She told the story at CPAC in February 2025 how Trump specifically asked her to make the TV ads he now says he knows nothing about

 Here.

 

 

Kristi Noem fired, replaced by a plumber lol

 Trump says he will replace DHS Secretary Kristi Noem with Sen. Markwayne Mullin

Now he's poaching from the thin Republican majority in the U.S. Senate. Brilliant. Just Brilliant.

Trump's Nazi police state says Show Your Papers to prove your citizenship

 

Senator Thom Tillis gives as good as he gets

 

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is the evil energy at the heart of Trump's death star, brain-dead Kristi Noem simply follows his orders, and soulless J. D. Vance retweets him

They all have to go.

 

Kristi Noem lied to our faces just like Greg Bovino, can't tell the truth about the small things let alone the big things

 

House Democrats tell Trump: Fire Kristi Noem or they’ll start impeachment proceedings against DHS chief

 

 

Everybody knows Trump, Vance, Noem, Bovino, and Patel are lying through their teeth to America about Alex Pretti

 

Videos of Alex Pretti shooting by federal agents in Minneapolis contradict Trump official claims

Domestic terrorism is when all the credit card companies move to Kristi Noem's South Dakota so they can charge you 20-30%

Only 99.395 million deportations to go, Kristi

 

 

🤣

I've said since 2017 that Donald Trump was a victim of The Invasion of the Body Snatchers, and now he finally has his own memorial to prove it lol

 Trump is as dumb as Kristi Noem.

 

 

Yeah Kristi, who let that guy stay in our country in the first place?

 What a moron she is.

Alleged 2025 MIT and Brown University killer was a Portugese national who obtained permanent resident status under President Donald Trump in 2017

 

 Brown and MIT prof shooter suspect Neves Valente is found dead, authorities say

... Authorities said he is believed to have originally been in the United States on a student visa and obtained lawful permanent resident status in 2017.

Trump immediately tries to cover his ass:

U.S. green card lottery suspended after Brown University shooting 

... Noem said that Valente entered the U.S. through the DV1 program in 2017 and was granted a green card. 

“In 2017, President Trump fought to end this program, following the devastating NYC truck ramming by an ISIS terrorist, who entered under the DV1 program, and murdered eight people,” she wrote on X.

The Diversity Immigrant Visa Program (DV Program) allocates up to 50,000 immigrant visas every year, according to the USCIS website.

The program is a lottery. Visas are randomly allocated to individuals from countries with low rates of immigration to the U.S.

 

Bush didn't keep us safe on 911, and Trump didn't keep us safe in 2025. A young, talented College Republican is dead because of him.

If Trump can simply suspend the program in 2025, he could have done it in 2017 when he was president the first time, but he didn't.

 

Oh, please Allah

This looks like pretty sweet revenge for the Tucker Carlson-Nick Fuentes imbroglio: The Heritage Foundation has a released a report highly critical of Trump's deportation policy

"You tarnish us, we'll tarnish you. And after all we've done for you, too."

 

 ... Howell, a former Homeland Security official in the first Trump administration, criticizes the lack of data being shared by DHS to back up its claims that 600,000 deportations will be carried out by the end of the year. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the main agency responsible for these removals, has stopped publishing the monthly data to show this progress. There hasn't been a monthly release since Trump took office. "Without access to the data, it is impossible to ascertain how the DHS is supporting its varying claims of deportation and self-deportation numbers," the report says. ...

More.

Even at 600k per year, the Trump administration will fall short of removing 11 million illegal aliens by 8.6 million by the time it is over.

And they'll waste $85 billion while doing it.

"The American people voted for mass deportations. They're getting mass communications instead," the report's author Mike Howell tells Axios.

Paid liar for DHS Tricia McLaughlin reportedly has a husband who was awarded a megamultimilliondollar no-bid government marketing contract for . . . DHS!

I guess you can watch the propaganda films on Newsmax, which can't spell Affairs lol.

There is so much money to be made in government service with deals like this. It's why the politicians want to win. It's a giant skimming operation which enriches their appointees. No lasting policy achievements are necessary.
