This so sick. Kakistocracy/Oligarchy that is what we are.

Noem, who was governor of South Dakota, shares Trump's hardline immigration views and called illegal immigration an "invasion" during a confirmation hearing earlier this month.

She was confirmed by a vote of 59 to 34 in the Republican-led Senate.

Trump recaptured the White House promising to deport record numbers of immigrants in the U.S. illegally, criticizing Democratic former President Joe Biden for high levels of illegal immigration during his presidency.


This is insanity.
