Trump fires Homeland Security Secretary Noem after mounting criticism over her leadership Oklahoma Republican Sen. Markwayne Mullin says he has no idea how quickly his nomination to replace Kristi Noem at the Department of Homeland Security will move.

We’re glad that Kristi Noem has been fired and she should face real accountability for DHS’ rampant violence.

But Noem’s firing doesn’t suddenly solve the crisis at DHS. Swapping personnel without changing course is not accountability — it’s a spin tactic. What we really need is structural change.

This is what the DOJ scrubbed from the Epstein files. They just posted the 3 missing interview summaries after Bondi was subpoenaed.

Why did they scrub it in the first place? Because it mentions Trump and this...

ICE just grabbed NASHVILLE Noticias reporter Estefany Rodriguez outside of a gym.

“She was with her husband, a 🇺🇸 citizen — her attorney says she came legally, sponsored by her husband, has a pending green card application.”

She also has a daughter.

There's been so much going on that I missed this story. WTF are we doing? @banditelli.org

Bensky: And then we have the moment where all of my information is released. All of these other survivors — all of our information is literally out there for the world to see. And you’re like, “Wow, the DOJ really — our government doesn’t care.”

So according to Trump, Noem lied to Congress. Isn’t there a law against that? 🤷🏼

Drone strikes on Amazon Web Services facilities this week in the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain highlight the vulnerability of cloud facilities — prominent symbols of US tech power in the region and hard to defend against air attack.

AOC: “That’s one reason he must be removed from office - if the Epstein files have such a hold on Trump & this admin that they are willing to plunge us & risk world war in order to save themselves politically - that is the definition of someone who cant make objective decisions for the American ppl”

👏👏👏 Fantastic! Do you know where this is?

ICE Wants to Buy Warehouses for Mass Detention. Communities Are Fighting Back. People across the political spectrum are realizing these federal detention warehouses will harm their communities.

The overdue firing of Kristi Noem will have no bearing on the continued plans for unwanted warehousing of human beings across the country.
The spotlight should focus on these warehouses (de facto concentration camps) during Markwayne Mullin's confirmation hearing.

Hospital shootings are rising, threatening patients and staff. Three people died in hospital shootings this week in Milwaukee, WI and Homewood, AL. Hospitals must work with frontline healthcare staff on effective programs to prevent workplace violence. cbs58.com/news/its-far...

Kristi Noem has done a stunning amount of damage and it’s good she’s gone.

But this doesn’t change the fact that we need a complete overhaul of DHS, impartial investigations into the killings of two American citizens, and information on children that were taken from Minnesota.

ICE detains reporter Estefany Rodríguez in Nashville - Nashville Banner Reporter Estefany Rodríguez, detained by ICE with no arrest warrant, may face deportation. Her attorneys seek immediate review of the legality of her case.

They’ve already sent her to Louisiana.

Well would you look at that
