The Justice Department will receive a recommendation later today to conduct an investigation into whether former U.S. Homeland Security Secretary #Kristi #Noem committed #perjury in her testimony to Congress earlier this month.

The vice chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee and the ranking member of the House Judiciary Committee will ask the Attorney General to review whether Noem knowingly made false statements during hearings conducted by the panels two weeks ago.

#Kristi the plastic Slut followed by #MarkWayne the Mullet, the inbred #Oaklahoma Overlord of #WhiteTrash
You gotta hand it to the #PedoPresident, he is truly consistent at finding the lowest level of scum that this way-too-large "united" states of shit has ever spat out

The interim chief of the nation’s top #cyber defense agency
had convinced many people he was not up to the task long before his sudden reassignment late Thursday.

But the one person who mattered most
— Department of Homeland Security Secretary #Kristi #Noem
— stood firm on keeping him in place.

In his roughly nine months as acting director of the "Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency",
#Madhu #Gottumukkala made a series of decisions that alienated career staff,
created friction with Trump appointees
and provoked scrutiny from influential lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

Nine current and four former cyber officials who spoke with POLITICO over the last several weeks said his tenure was so chaotic that it was hampering the agency’s core mission:
protecting sensitive government networks from a crush of cyberattacks.

All were granted anonymity for fear of retribution.

The frustration with Gottumukkala was shared by several administration officials,
two of whom told Noem as far back as November that Gottumukkala should not be in charge at #CISA,
according to three current cybersecurity officials with knowledge of those conversations.

But Noem was hesitant to remove Gottumukkala until recently
because she and DHS special adviser #Corey #Lewandowski
— Donald Trump’s former campaign manager
— feared it would reflect poorly on her,
as she was already facing immense pressure over DHS’s immigration crackdown and other issues,
two of those three officials said.

Noem’s reversal comes just days before a long-awaited Tuesday appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee,
where she is expected to face tough questions from lawmakers in both parties.

Trump kept up his hard-edge attacks on immigrants -- lines that got the loudest cheers of the night.

At one point, he raised the specter of immigrants who may
“blow up our shopping centers, blow up our farms, kill people.”
❌He also falsely portrayed the vast majority of those detained by ICE in Minnesota and elsewhere as hardened criminals -- asserting that once those people were removed, crime would be nearly eliminated.

On Capitol Hill Tuesday, 🔥the top three House Democrats came out in support of an effort to impeach #Kristi #Noem, the homeland security secretary
— part of a growing chorus in the party calling for her ouster after the deaths of two protesters in Minneapolis in recent weeks.

Republicans were also critical.
Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina, who is retiring at the end of his term, told reporters that
💥 Ms. Noem should be fired, and called her actions “amateurish.”

The chief federal judge in Minnesota ordered the head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement to appear in court on Friday
to explain why he should not be held in contempt
for violating court orders.

The order by Judge Patrick J. Schiltz
— which he acknowledged was “an extraordinary step”
— adds to the administration’s legal fights

while it also faces public and political pressure over the aggressive tactics of its agents,
who have shot and killed two U.S. citizens in Minneapolis in three weeks.

Trump shook up the leadership of the Minnesota enforcement operation on Monday
by planning to pull its director of on-the-ground enforcement,
Gregory Bovino, according to two U.S. officials.

That came after two days of outrage over the killing of Alex Pretti,
who was shot and killed by federal agents over the weekend.

Trump said he was sending #Tom #Homan, his border czar,
to oversee the operations and that Mr. Homan would report directly to him.

⭐️The order by Judge Schiltz, issued late Monday,
summons the ICE acting director
#Todd #Lyons to appear before him on Friday and explain why he should not be held in contempt for violating court orders arising from the Trump administration’s crackdown.

“The court’s patience is at an end,” he wrote.

But the judge did give Mr. Lyons an out:
👉He said he would cancel the hearing if ICE quickly released an immigrant whom he said had been wrongly detained by agents.

The crackdown has prompted a flood of legal challenges,
including from state and local officials
⚠️who asked another federal judge on Monday to declare that the surge of some 3,000 immigration agents had effectively become an #unconstitutional #occupation.

The Trump administration also defended itself on Monday at a hearing over the state’s effort to investigate the death of Mr. Pretti.

The shooting of Mr. Pretti
— who was killed while being pinned down by agents, according to videos of the encounter
— sparked outage across the political spectrum,
including among some Republicans who have called for the Trump administration to change course.

Trump met on Monday with #Kristi #Noem, the homeland security secretary, and #Corey #Lewandowski, her top aide, in the Oval Office for more than two hours,
according to two people briefed on the meeting.

The president did not suggest in the meeting that Ms. Noem and Mr. Lewandowski were at risk of losing their jobs, those people said.

But it was another sign of Trump’s concern about the reaction to the killing of Mr. Pretti and the fatal shooting of another Minneapolis resident, Renee Good, by a federal agent on Jan. 7.

As Tim Walz Encourages Resistance, Minnesota ‘ICE Watch’ Declares ‘Time Is Ripe To Embrace Militancy’

A torrent of untruths, half-truths, smears, and innuendo has been unleashed by the White House,
and amplified by its social media and cable television acolytes,
in an attempt to douse the flames over the killing of #reneenicolegood

Hakeem Jeffries, the Democratic House minority leader, called homeland security secretary
#Kristi #Noem a “stone cold liar”
on Thursday for her efforts to falsely portray the victim Renee Nicole Good, a 37-year-old mother of three and award-winning poet, as a “domestic terrorist”.

Jacob Frey, the Democratic mayor of Minneapolis, condemned as “#bullshit” a concerted push by homeland security officials and others to immediately paint the officer’s action as self-defense
-- when video of the incident is unclear at best, and an investigation had yet to begin.

“People in positions of power have already passed judgment,
from the president to the vice-president, to Kristi Noem …
[they] have stood and told you things that are verifiably false,
verifiably inaccurate,”
Tim Walz, Minnesota’s Democratic governor, told a press conference on Thursday.

The #victim-#blaming began almost immediately that news broke of Good’s killing on Wednesday.

#Tricia #McLaughlin, assistant secretary of the homeland security department, a regular administration spokesperson for ICE, declared in a post on X that “one of these violent rioters weaponized her vehicle, attempting to run over our law enforcement officers in an attempt to kill them
– an act of domestic terrorism”.
Multiple ICE officers were hurt, she insisted, 🔥when videos of the shooting showed no such thing.

Homeland Security Secretary
#Kristi #Noem had a baffling excuse Wednesday for a
⚠️federal agent shooting a U.S. citizen ⚠️
protesting an ICE operation in #Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Speaking from Brownsville, Texas, #Noem claimed that the officer had been responding to “an act of domestic terrorism.”
The secretary claimed that the victim had “attacked” a group of federal officers whose vehicle was stuck in the snow, attempting to “run them over and ram them with her vehicle.” An officer had “defensively shot to protect himself and the people around him” and killed the woman, Noem said.

⭐️Witnesses reported seeing something entirely different.

Emily Heller, a Minneapolis resident, claimed that the woman had been blocking traffic with her car as part of the protest earlier Wednesday.
When the woman tried to turn her car around, an ICE agent standing in front of her car leaned over the hood and 🆘 shot her in the face at least three times.

Another resident, Aidan Perzana, told Fox9 that he’d seen three ICE agents attempt to detain the driver.
When the vehicle suddenly reversed and then pulled away from the officers,
one of the agents shot through the driver’s side window three times.

Minnesota Representative #Ilhan #Omar indicated that the deceased victim was not only a U.S. citizen,
but a legal observer.

A video of the incident appeared to show that the woman’s car did not move toward the ICE officers,
but away from them.

❌Despite these stories, it seems that the Trump administration intends to run with its claim that the victim was a so-called “domestic terrorist.”

White House deputy Chief of Staff #Stephen #Miller also claimed that the victim had committed a federal crime. “Democrats continue to lend aid and comfort to domestic terrorism,” Miller wrote on X, responding to Minnesota Senator #Tina #Smith’s plea for ICE to leave Minneapolis following the incident.

Assistant DHS Secretary #Tricia #McLaughlin, who has spent the last several months spinning blatant #lies about immigration officers’ violent interactions with civilians, described the victim as a “violent rioter” who was attempting to kill the federal agents.

“This is the direct consequence of constant attacks and demonization of our officers by sanctuary politicians who fuel and encourage rampant assaults on our law enforcement,” McLaughlin wrote on X.

Lee Zeldin is an ambitious man.

The former congressman, who left office in 2022 to get routed by Kathy Hochul in the New York governor’s race, has only been head of the the Environmental Protection Agency for three weeks.
But he’s already looking to make a name for himself.

Luckily his former House colleague #Kristi #Noem,
currently the secretary of the Department of Homeland Security, has provided a template.

After a grossly misinformed tweet by #Elon #Musk accusing New York of misappropriating disaster relief funds to house illegal migrants in luxury hotels, Noem snatched $80 million from the city of New York’s bank account.

The money had been congressionally allocated and was being used exactly as intended.

But Noem took a victory lap, blustering on X,
“Mark my words: there will not be a single penny spent that goes against the interest and safety of the American people.”

And #Lee #Zeldin said, CAN DO!

The babyfaced politician warned of “an extremely disturbing video circulated two months ago featuring a Biden EPA political appointee talking about how they were ‘tossing gold bars off the Titanic,’ rushing to get billions of your dollars out the door before Inauguration Day.”

“The gold bars were your tax dollars!” he intoned indignantly, adding that “tossing them off the Titanic meant the Biden administration knew they were wasting it.”

This leap of logic is sadly the least ridiculous part of this episode.

Because the “disturbing video” was made by #Project #Veritas, the rightwing smear factory that specializes in deceptively edited videos of Democrats.

In this case, the outfit appears to have secretly filmed a former EPA advisor in a bar talking about the rush to disburse clean energy funds before Trump took over and gutted the place.

The advisor’s fears were well-founded: Just hours after his inauguration,
👉Trump demanded that the government halt distribution of congressionally-allocated funds,
purporting to unilaterally cancel the grants and contracts that he didn’t like.
And he continues to do it despite multiple court orders instructing him to knock it off.

Zeldin was unbothered by the video’s sordid provenance.

He gleefully seized on the “gold bars” turn of phrase to raise his own profile,
while attempting to ingratiate himself with #Musk by crediting the #DOGE bros with the discovery.

In interviews with conservative outlets like #Newsmax and the Washington Free Beacon, he hyped the story, even concocting a stringboard theory to connect it to Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams.

“ICYMI: Administrator Lee Zeldin Finds Gold Bars from EPA at Stacey Abrams’ Connected Group, Biden-Harris Ethical Red Flags,” an EPA press release trumpeted,
attaching Zeldin’s press clippings like a campaign webpage.

Unsurprisingly, Zeldin was also repeatedly given free rein to lie to his heart’s content on #Fox.

On Maria Bartiromo’s show, he went as far as to allege that the lawful distribution of congressionally appropriated funds is tantamount to a “criminal scheme.”

The Trump administration quickly made good on its vow to
"claw back" federal funding meant to cover some of the costs of housing migrants borne by New York City
💥unilaterally reversing the transfer of $80 million that the Federal Emergency Management Agency made to the city last week.💥

The comptroller’s office noticed early Wednesday that $80 million had gone missing from city bank accounts.
The Department of Homeland Security, which houses FEMA, confirmed later that day that the money had indeed been taken back,
👉a significant escalation of President Trump’s attempts to freeze or reverse funding that had previously been appropriated by Congress.

#Kristi #Noem, the homeland security secretary, said on X:
“I have clawed back the full payment that FEMA deep state activists unilaterally gave to N.Y.C. migrant hotels... Mark my words: there will not be a single penny spent that goes against the interest and safety of the American people.”
Ms. Noem added that the city was using FEMA funding to finance the use of the Roosevelt Hotel in Midtown Manhattan as a migrant shelter,
claiming that the hotel served as a “base of operations” for Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang.

The funds in question had been appropriated by Congress last year under former President Joseph R. Biden Jr.
The payment was issued through a grant from the
"Shelter and Services Program", administrated by FEMA and initiated by Congress in 2023 to issue grants to cities providing services to migrants who had been released from federal custody after crossing the border.

Criticism of the program resurfaced on Monday when Elon Musk, in a post on X, said that his government cost-cutting team had identified a $59 million payment that FEMA made to New York City to pay for the housing of migrants at hotels.

The $59 million, city officials said, was part of the $80 million payment that was clawed back.

The fallout from Mr. Musk’s post was swift.

It led to the firing on Tuesday of four FEMA employees,
including its chief financial officer,
who was accused of "undermining the agency’s leadership" by disbursing the $80 million
— even though the funds had been previously appropriated by Congress❗️

And it led FEMA’s acting director, Cameron Hamilton, to announce that the payment would be suspended,
-- even though most of the money had already been disbursed to the city.
