“As then-Gov. Kristi Noem crisscrossed the country — stumping for President Donald Trump and boosting her political profile beyond her home state — she refused to reveal what her extensive travel was costing taxpayers.

In the weeks since Noem became Trump’s Homeland Security secretary, that mystery has been solved: South Dakota repeatedly picked up the tab for expenses related to her jet-setting campaigning.

An Associated Press analysis of recently released travel records found more than $150,000 in expenses tied to Noem’s political and personal activity and not South Dakota business. That included numerous trips to Palm Beach, Florida, where Trump resided before retaking office.”

“The expenses, released last month following a lawsuit by The Dakota Scout, have incensed Republicans in the deep-red state, with several GOP lawmakers accusing Noem of tapping state funds to fuel her own political ascendancy.”

Continued thread

On Wednesday afternoon, Homeland Security #KristiNoem [dog killer] was on her way to visit the Terrorism Confinement Center #CECOT in #ElSalvador. She & other officials have touted the #deportations as a feat of #Trump’s agenda to keep Americans safe from violent criminals. Before her arrival she said on her X account she was going to see firsthand “where the worst-of-the-worst criminals are housed.”

Wait, US Secretary of Homeland Security, who proudly wrote in their book that they shot a dog and a goat to death because they were annoyed, has now proudly posed in front of captives in a prison camp that operates outside US law to threaten people with being sent there? I’m shocked, shocked I say.

Another #immigration case today was heard in Federal District Court in San Francisco. Judge Chen heard arguments in the case of National TPS Alliance v Noem.

The #Trump admin has stripped #TPS holders of their rights, & undermined the program. DHS Secy #KristiNoem [dog killer] has taken steps to terminate TPS for 600k Venezuelans & 500k Haitians. National TPS Alliance v Noem is a legal challenge to the Trump administration's early termination of TPS for Venezuela.

#DHS Secy #KristiNoem [dog killer] told a Cabinet meeting Monday that the dept would move to “eliminate” the govt’s #disaster relief agency, #FEMA, days after #Trump signed an EO directing state & local govnts to “play a more active & significant role” in responding to catastrophes.

#Noem, whose dept oversees FEMA, has previously vowed to “get rid of FEMA the way it exists today”; Trump has said he would close the agency entirely, which would require an act of #Congress.

#KristiNoem Says $200 Million #DHS Ad Campaign Thanking #Trump Was His Idea

Trump’s Homeland Security Secretary said he instructed her to make ads that “thank me for closing the border”

"The ad campaign amounts to an extremely expensive taxpayer-funded propaganda blitz to scare off #migrants and to flatter Trump on television. On Friday, Trump’s DHS secretary entertained the #CPAC high-roller audience with her account of how Trump orchestrated the whole thing."
