Denying elected officials entrance to ICE facilities is wrong. They have a constitutional duty to be there. WHAT are Donald Trump and Kristi Noem trying to hide?

Kristi Noem sang a pretty different tune on the National Guard last year. “He actually was going to take control of our South Dakota National Guard and actually activate them.” ZERO PRINCIPLE.

Well, darn. Couldn’t say it better ourselves.
South Dakota is united in our support of our state’s constitutional right to defend itself. Democrats are encouraging Biden to federalize the National Guard — to take that power away from the states. I will always stand to defend states’ rights.

Sen. PADILLA: This Justice Department fired a 15-year career prosecutor who put away sex traffickers and transnational terrorists. She was marched out of her office. Why? Because she had the audacity to remind Border Patrol that it should follow court orders.

Sen. HIRONO: The Department of Justice has become the Department of Revenge and Corruption. The double standard of this Justice Department is clear. The American people are waking up to the corruption, favoritism, and lawlessness.
