There is simply no way to do mass detention and deportation without widespread human rights abuses.

A reminder of why it's so troubling that they used 'may' instead of 'shall' in the first line of this section of the RFP for the $10 billion Navy contract for DHS detention services.

9.3.1.2.3 If detention services are required, they may be performed in accordance with the most current
version of the National Detention Standards (NDS), currently NDS 2019 which can be found at
https://www.ice.gov/detain/detention-management/2019, the ICE Minimum Standards, or the Department of
Defense Army Regulation 190-4 including any relevant addendums. The contractor shall provide safe and secure
conditions of confinement based on the characteristics of a varied population, including threat to the community,
risk of flight, type and status of immigration proceeding, community ties, medical and mental health issues. The
contractor shall also provide access to natural light, controlled freedom of movement (the manner and degree of
implementation may vary based on security levels), and programming,

Noem creates her own "truth" to support her reality and facts be damned.

The whole Third Term Project isn’t actually about Trump. The people behind it know he will likely be dead or enfeebled by 2029. It is about them, the vastly unpopular group around Trump, wanting to grift us forever without elections.

It sounds like Noem wants anyone declared illegal, regardless, of citizenship status.
When do they start declaring journalists, Democrats and protesters "illegal people"?

We are a poor state but we know what's important: Universal Child Care plus benefits to SNAP recipients.

Millions of Americans will go hungry because Trump and Republicans won't fund SNAP—but they'll always fight for more billionaire tax cuts.

A political graphic featuring a large photo of a smiling Donald Trump at the bottom. The graphic contrasts two sets of Republican actions in two separate boxes against a dark background.

Top Box (ACA Healthcare): Text begins: "First, Republicans said they're okay abandoning Americans on ACA marketplace health insurance." This is followed by a bulleted list with red thumbs-down icons: allowed premiums to soar; shut down government rather than fix the problem; let 4 million people lose health insurance.

Middle Box (SNAP Food Assistance): Text begins: "Now, Republicans are abandoning Americans who rely on SNAP food assistance." This is followed by a bulleted list with red thumbs-down icons: allowing money to run out Nov. 1; withholding emergency funding; letting 1 in 8 people go hungry in America.

Text next to Trump asks: "Who will Republicans abandon next?" The source is cited at the bottom.

This is relevant again today. The directive just went out. Keep in mind, it’s illegal for the president to use the military as police without invoking the insurrection act.

That’s interesting. Last time I heard the phrase “Quick Reaction Force” was during the January 6 investigations when the Oath Keepers stashed an arsenal at a Virginia hotel. Gift link: wapo.st/46UGmic

Typical narcissist. All that mattered was that Trump had his ego pumped up. Never mind the American people. It's all about Trump.

Women and children have no voices in patriarchal white Christian churches. Men make all of the decisions because they are ordained by God to do so. It's not surprising that sexual abusers & pedophiles hide in these churches.

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year.

That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare.

Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Far right influencers & extremists also incorrectly claim that Medicaid is used for immigrant medical care. What they get wrong is that hospitals are reimbursed by Medicaid for emergency care stabilization regardless of ability to pay or immigrant status which is less than 1% of Medicaid's budget.
