Q: Can you confirm that CBP actually hit a party balloon it thought was a drone with a laser? And why wasn't that coordinated with the FAA?
KRISTI NOEM: You know, this was a joint agency task force, um, mission that was undertaken. And um, we're continuing to work on communication

ICE/DHS are playground bullies getting to enact their cruel desires, this time with weapons, chemicals, and the consent of the Trump Admin and all his Republican defenders.
I'll add Dem Cuellar to this list as he alone among Dems voted to keep funding this violence and sickness.

We must never normalize these ongoing attacks by DHS agents on the people they supposedly protect.
Trump, Vance, Miller, & Noem have created a culture of impunity that has led to rampant abuse and killings.
Not one more dime for this lawlessness.

BREAKING: Kristi Noem and Lewandowski , both married, are in a relationship.
The WSJ reports that they do little to hide their relationship inside the department.
In one incident, Lewandowski reportedly fired a U.S. Coast Guard pilot after Noem’s blanket was left behind on a plane.

Pam Bondi refused to apologize to Epstein survivors standing right behind her. Instead, she laughed and called it “theatrics.”
She released Epstein Files that exposed survivors’ identities—and instead protected pedophiles.
If not an apology, we will force answers & accountability.

Shutting down airspace of a major US city for such an extended period hasn’t happened since the aftermath of 9-11.
