Oops, another citizen held by Kristi Noem. Another +1, so I've got +8 just in the last week or so.
Beautifully said!
OMG the Cincinnati Children’s hospital Pastor speaks after being detained for 73 days by ICE and he is a legal U.S citizen & they knew it when they took him & they’ve known it for all 73 days! He said the there are a lot of people in there that are U.S citizens & no crimes ever! 🤬

So Rand Paul thinks that being gay disqualifies a qualified person from the government. I wonder what he thinks of Scott Bessent.

The end of group birthright citizenship extends to EVERY
person born in the US. Anybody could be deported for social media memes. Every single person is in danger of deportation.
“Today, the threat is to birthright citizenship. Tomorrow, a different administration may try to seize firearms from lawabiding citizens or prevent people of certain faiths from gathering to worship.”

“Rather than stand firm, the Court gives way,” she wrote.
