UPDATEβ€”There were actually 2 U.S. citizens detained during the ICE raid in Chicago that Kristi Noem personally participated in.

This is the digital stasi. Social media influencers utilizing tips from followers for content that they monetize while working with state actors to target the people they want.

It's all a spectacle packaged as content. Destroying people's lives for profitable ideological bloodsport.
