Kristi Noem is seen as a "delicate, beautiful, tiny woman" while leading DHS, yet Rep. McIver was arrested for protesting it, and Sen. Padilla was tackled for even questioning it.
It's clear who gets to be “delicate, beautiful, and tiny,” and who is seen as a violent threat to law enforcement.

The "delicate, beautiful, tiny" fascism of Kristi Noem
The right thinks Noem is the victim of Sen. Padilla's assault. But what about Rep. McIver?

Cruelty is the point: ICE separates a couple returning from honeymoon. The detained woman, who is stateless, followed the rules laid out by the US gov't.
ICE is literally a terrorist organization because it delivers terror to people who don't deserve it.
