Genuinely interesting. Kristi Noem is snitching that Stephen Miller is the one who made up the bullshit about Alex Pretti.
It would be genuinely useful if Congress can get her to admit that he has been dictating ALL OF THIS just like he dictated the murderboats.

Forcing Greg Bovino into retirement is good, but replacing him with Tom Homan isn’t going to change anything. Homan has to go, Noem has to go, Miller has to go, and the ICE agents who murdered Alex Pretti need to be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Don’t let them cover this up.
