DHS had a lot of political distractions. Had Sanc-States/Cities just cooperated with scooping up the bad Illegals, the op would have been fine like it was in non-Sanc States/Cities. The Dems used disruption as a tool to light-up their Useful Idiot base.
Replacing Noem was the easiest Cab to replace as she was just OK and that was about it - IMHO. I'm still don't understand why he picked her for DHS.
In a very tight mid-term election this was needed - toss the Dems a bone and make them think they have a win, their only "win" as they'll milk it for all it's worth as they have Buttcus, even lower, the lint in Buttcus' navel, since Trump was elected. Give them this win, end the 2nd Dem shutdown and GIDDY-UP for November Midterms.
The thing is, DHS and ICE won't change!


"DHS had a lot of political distractions." Agreed, two citizens were shot and killed by DHS agents. Spare me the talking points, I heard them....we aren't going to agree there. One was shot in the face. The other in the back.
"I'm still don't understand why he picked her for DHS." You know why. He prefers fealty over qualifications. Add in his own lack of political experience, and you get this result. I also expect the Army National Guard to accept their major back to their ranks soon. Oh wait, he "ain't no pussy! He knows how to motivate those top generals.
"The thing is, DHS and ICE won't change!" Hmmmph. I haven't seen any citizens killed lately. Either the protestors eased off, or DHS did. You know the answer. You don't get to kill two citizens like that and continue business as usual. And to be fair, you don't get to protest aggressively while armed and continue business as usual.
