Kristi Noem has to lie to justify her extreme anti-immigrant agenda.
She told reporters that “There’s no American citizens that have been arrested or detained.”
A bold-faced lie.

This is patently false.
The Trump-Noem DHS is detaining American citizens.
And they’re doing it during violent, indiscriminate raids and using excessive force.
None of us are safer for it.

Stop fear-mongering. ICE does NOT arrest or deport U.S. citizens.
If a U.S. citizen is arrested, it is because they have obstructed or assaulted law enforcement. What makes someone a target for immigration enforcement is if they are illegally in the U.S.—NOT their skin color, race, or ethnicity.
Secretary Noem has been clear: rioters will not stop us or slow us down.
