Literally anything Noem, Tricia McLaughlin, or ICE says needs to be contextualized with the fact that they lie constantly and shamelessley
As you evaluate this from Kristi Noem, remember that when a federal agent shot a woman in Chicago last year, DHS's initial version of events was full of lies that fell apart under subsequent scrutiny:

They're doing this so they can call any government program that isn't ICE or the military "rife with fraud" and thus illegitimate. They are trying to manufacture consent to say any entitlement — from Medicare to social security — must be canceled because of extreme edge cases. Don't fall for it.
The Trump administration sent out letters tonight to 5 blue states, freezing about $10 billion in funding for child care and social services programs pending a "thorough review," citing concerns over "systemic fraud."
5 Democratic-run states are told that their child care funds have been frozen
The suspension of the funds could hurt low-income families in those states, depending on how long it lasts, advocates say.

Just a thought, but everyone should be speaking up about FEMA cutting 4,300 workers, or 41%, because if you don’t speak up now, I don’t want to hear it when a Cat 5 hurricane blows your house into the ocean and no one shows up to help you.
