Noem simultaneously is demanding that politicians tone down their rhetoric about ICE while also saying that anyone who believes in due process is a supporter of terrorism.
NOEM: We've seen Democrats out there take extreme positions. Their support of terrorists such as MS-13 and Tren de Aragua and seeing US senators go & have margaritas with them in a foreign country I think is a tragic thing to experience in the US

Tick, tock.

Lindsey Halligan, the newly-installed prosecutor in EDVA, has less than a week to secure an indictment against James Comey before a key statute of limitations runs out.

Ben Wittes and I examine her charging options.
