Kristi Noem could not possible care less about your husband. His hardships are a matter of utter indifference to her; probably the only person who cares even less is Trump. And maybe Vance.

Yeah it's laughable that we are all expected to pretend like it does something to voice our concerns to the people who are all-in on creating a dictatorship. Guess what, these people would send you, your husband, and your kids to a gas chamber if they thought they could get away with it.

Are you being hyperbolic, or is there an actual gas chamber they are sending people to that I'm not aware of?

The conditions in ice facilities are horrific and very clandestine, there may not be actual gas chambers, but people are suffering and disappearing, because they have no recourse when their family members are illegal themselves. Even US citizens are getting detained, even once they were born here and children as well, so yeah, it’s pretty bad and we are certainly on the path to gas chambers

The cynic in me thinks they don’t want gas chambers because slow painful deaths are preferable to quick ones. And they sure aren’t worried about the cost component

> “Rodney must crawl through that muck and squalor of feces and bodily fluids to enter and exit the shower,” McBath said. “Secretary Noem, can you honestly tell Rodney’s wife and family and the American people that are watching that these cruel and unusual conditions are acceptable under your watch?” What the hell. There is not bottom for this admin.

She’s a brave woman coming up against these ghouls. Her husband Rodney deserves better. I hope they get their justice.

The cruelty is the point.   If the Republicans were sincerely for holding to a tougher line on immigration they would work with Democrats and get more funding for immigration courts to process people a lot faster. That would achieve the goal of speeding up deportations for people with no right to stay, and release for people with a right to stay or a legitimate reason to request asylum. Even if it doesn't save money overall, it probably wouldn't cost more than running the extra holding facilities they now have to, would allow slow rebuilding of good will with states and cities, and would achieve the ostensible goal of deterring abuse of asylum claims as faster processing would more mean that people making them would be quickly rejected and deported.

Yeah, but if they actually tried to improve something that means they can no longer use it every single election to scare their cousin f****** base

L_Cranston_Shadow Apr 4, 2026 +8
I mean, there are legitimate disagreements on immigration. For one thing, strict enforcement would mean deporting a lot of people who had been in the country for decades, had families. It would also mean going after employers hard for contracting out to shady companies that hire illegal immigrants. Even if the farms and factories weren't directly fined, the sudden lack of c**** labor along with fines for the contracting companies would devastate farm industries and the meat industry in the short term. None of the proposed "middle ground" approaches are much better. Arguably we all would be better off in the long term, once a system was in place to let workers come back on visas to work legally, but both widespread enforcement, which would also rip apart families, and an amnesty are politically non-viable, creating a pretty much unresolvable stalemate. And that is even assuming that everyone was working in good faith, which we already established that they aren't.

Yeah, there have always been legitimate arguments, unfortunately Republicans don't have legitimate arguments anymore.

Their pie in the sky goal is actually ethnic cleansing let's be real. That 100 million deportations quota in their rhetoric isn't just a random figure they pulled out of their ass to rile up their base. Regardless of how feasible it actually is and it's economic and social impacts the only demographics that most closely matches that number is = (total US population) - (people of white European ancestry) - (people of native American ancestry) -  (hispanics of white European ancestry). ie Everyone else black, African, east Asian, south Asian, middle eastern, hispanics of native/black/white mixed ancestry roughly totals up to 100 million for a nice round number to spew at the cameras.

But Trump forbid the GOP to pass that bill, even though he was out of the White House. The Immigration bill would have done the things you mentioned.

Conservatives are pure evil. Half of them will call this fake news and the other half wish they'd just throw people like Rodney in one of those medical grade incinerators already.

She should be confronting Steven Miller. He is the architect of the cruelty.

Noem shot & killed her own 14 month old dog. I doubt she cares about this women’s husband.

She shoots dogs; she doesn't care.

it's not even surprising when you look at federal oversight reports, ice facilities literally don't allocate funds for accessibility or specialized care. hoping this actually forces a congressional review instead of just fading out by next week

As someone who went through the immigration process I can say that many people have no idea of it works, how difficult it can be, how expensive it can be, how vetted it is. I had a smoother experience than many and it was still stressful. Reforms are needed but people disagree on what needs to be done. We are human beings, not a monolithic group, our voices are not heard in the debate unless it is used for political points or opinions. This is an abject situation. Full stop. I Hope he gets out . Right now this administration is trying to add the Republic of Congo as a country to send people to. When I read about it I was shocked which doesn’t happen often anymore .

The DHS doesn't care — their objective is to make the country as white as possible. *E Pluribus Unum* is a joke and only applies if you are white. We, as a country, are an embarrassment.

Certain people should never be placed in any position of authority. If they are, they almost always make things worse. Anyone in authority who puts rules and laws above justice, compassion, integrity, and truth has no business being in leadership as they have lost their humanity.

Kristi Noem is as cruel as they come. Along with Stephen Miller and of course Trump, they have left a mark of cruelty, meaness and hatred on the United States.

Not gonna happen without a solid support of yes-men and useful idiots. It's easy to paint those three, but apparently they echo sentiments shared by a scary number of (ordinary) people.

We are so much worse than ordinary citizens in Germany. Back then, people knew others were disappearing but only the Nazis knew what the camps were like. Citizens were largely in the dark. Now every crime against humanity is out there for all to see and we have millions of people who either don’t care or actively cheering it on. It takes effort to not know what is going on.

It’s a title about Kristi Noem who was fired a day later, this is a bigger issue but just like people hope Bondi will I’m sure she will be subpoena’d to talk in court /s Can b**** and moan all you want but these people will be scape goats. You need to hold the higher people accountable as these snakes are easily cut off and let loose when deemed unfit.

He was taken by ICE on January 15th, well within her period of responsibility. Getting fired isnt a form of absolution.
