      Noem Invokes Nuremberg Defense – Blames Trump & Stephen Miller

      Date:  January 29, 2026

      Well, this is a fun development.

      Damage Control?

      This is supposed to be damage control?

      US Citizen Witnesses in Custody Over Pretti

      CBS News: Minneapolis man says he was detained for hours after witnessing Alex Pretti shooting

      One of those witnesses, who asked to be called Javier for safety reasons, said he was among dozens of what he overheard agents referring to as “USCs” — United States citizens in custody.

      “I’m not going to be intimidated by them,” Javier asserted to WCCO News.

      “You Don’t Feel So Tough Now B*tch”

      “Do that again and I’ll attack you down right here, right now.”

      That is an explicit threat of violence, made during an unlawful detention, by someone acting under color of federal authority.

      Homeland Security Initial Response to Murder of Pretti

      Homeland Security Initial Response Emphasis Mine

      At 9:05 AM CT, as DHS law enforcement officers were conducting a targeted operation in Minneapolis against an illegal alien wanted for violent assault, an [Lie #1 no one could see the gun, only known after] individual approached US Border Patrol officers with a 9 mm semi-automatic handgun, seen here.  [Lie #2] The officers attempted to disarm the suspect [Lie #3] but the armed suspect violently resisted. More details on the armed struggle are forthcoming. [Lie #4] Fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers, an agent fired defensive shots. [Lie #5] Medics on scene immediately delivered medical aid to the subject but was pronounced dead at the scene.  The suspect also had 2 magazines and no ID—[Lie #6] this looks like a situation where an individual wanted to do maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.    [Lie #7] About 200 rioters arrived at the scene and [Lie#8] began to obstruct and assault law enforcement on the scene, crowd control measures were deployed for the safety of the public and law enforcement.  This situation is evolving, and [Lie #8] more information is forthcoming.

      The Blatant Administration Lies

      • Stephen Miller, President Trump’s homeland security adviser, called the victim, Alex Pretti, who was filming Border Patrol agents in Minneapolis, a “domestic terrorist.”
      • The Department of Homeland Security said an agent had fired “defensive shots” because he was “fearing for his life and the lives and safety of fellow officers.”
      • Gregory Bovino, a top Border Patrol official leading the crackdown in Minneapolis, said at a news conference on Saturday that Mr. Pretti “had two loaded magazines,” and appeared to want to do “maximum damage and massacre law enforcement.”
      • On Sunday, Trump said Democrats were to blame for the killings, not federal agents.

      Lies, Lies, and Lies. The Administration knows nothing but lies.

      Synchronized Lies

      Trump’s Big Investigation

      When asked if he believed the shooting of Alex Pretti was justified, President Trump told reporters his administration was conducting a “big investigation” into the incident and would be waiting to see its findings.

      The president also reiterated his support for Homeland Security Secretary Noem when asked if she would be stepping down.

      What Does This Tell You?

      Q: What does this tell you?
      A: That they are protecting themselves and they don’t care about the truth.

      Trump told Fox News Tuesday that he intends to “de-escalate a little bit” in light of the recent “hoopla”.

      The murder of two US citizens by ICE is called “hoopla”.

      Where the hell is that de-escalation?

      It’s just another lie, in an endless stream of lies.

      Pleased to Report

      In an interview with Fox News, Trump said he still has faith in Noem, calling her work at the border “a tremendous success,” while noting that her accomplishments happened alongside border “czar” Tom Homan “and the whole group.”

      That tells you what you need to know. It’s just more lies.

      We Can All Breathe Easier Now

      Translated From Spanish

      The detention of Liam Conejo Ramos, a five-year-old Ecuadorian boy, by agents of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), sparked a wave of international outrage after images of him in immigration custody were widely shared. While the U.S. government maintains that the child was detained during an operation to apprehend his father, communities and school authorities insist that he was picked up while returning from preschool and used as bait to arrest other family members. Despite the gravity of the case —and the fact that both Liam and his father have an asylum application in process— the Ecuadorian Ministry of Foreign Affairs accepted the official version without objection and did not activate any diplomatic protection mechanisms. President Daniel Noboa also remained silent. Organizations warn that this is not an isolated incident: at least one hundred Ecuadorian minors are believed to be in similar situations, once again raising questions about the State’s response to the violation of the rights of migrant children.

      The Administration’s Response

      ICE Attempts to Enter Ecuador’s Consulate in Minneapolis

      Trump’s ICE Waterloo

      Murdering Renee Nicole Good, a lesbian woman, was easier to brush away.

      “A domestic terrorist, really?” Somehow the Administration got away with that obvious lie.

      But murdering a white male who was legally carrying a gun, assisting a woman who was pepper sprayed, the man then shot in the back 10 times by two different ICE officers was the line in the sand.

      All but the most brain dead of Trump’s supporters are disturbed by this, and of course the administration’s lies to cover it up.

      This administration is nothing but a pack of morally depraved white racists liars who want you to believe Homan will make significant changes.

      But that’s OK because “Everything I’ve done, I’ve done at the direction of the president and Stephen.”

      A Change In Tone?

      I will concede there is a legitimate change in tone if and when Trump announces

      1) No illegal searches
      2) No racist profiling
      3) Prosecution of ICE Murders
      4) A change in plan to only look for those with criminal records
      5) Three months from now points 1, 2,and 4 are still working

      The Rift Grows

      Politico reports Trump dings Murkowski, Tillis after their Noem criticism, calls them ‘losers’

      President Donald Trump took a swing at Sens. Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) after they called for Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to be fired, dismissing both as “losers.”

      “They’re terrible senators. One is gone, and the other should be gone,” Trump said in an interview with ABC News posted Wednesday. “What Murkowski says — she’s always against the Republicans anyway. And Tillis decided to drop out. So you know, he lost his voice once he did that.”

      Murkowski and Tillis became the first Republicans in Congress to publicly state that Noem should lose her job after her response to a second highly publicized shooting in Minnesota involving federal immigration agents.

      “I think what she’s done in Minnesota should be disqualifying,” Tillis, who is not seeking reelection, told reporters Tuesday. “It’s just amateurish. It’s terrible. It’s making the president look bad.”

      Murkowski told reporters separately that “she should go,” adding to mounting pressure for Trump to fire Noem following the killing of 37-year-old nurse Alex Pretti on Saturday.

      Truly Hilarious

      Reporter: The president called you a loser.

      Republican Senator Thom Tillis: “I am thrilled about that. That makes me qualified to be homeland security secretary and senior adviser to the president.”

      Lesson for the Cult

      It is unacceptable to have anything but blind love for the cult leader.

      But if you are fed up with Trump, no matter what your political party, you have to love this infighting.

      Meanwhile, please reflect on Trump’s asinine attempt at “damage control” by feuding with two Republican senators and defending Noem.
