House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem would be a top target of the Oversight and Government Reform Committee if Democrats retake the House in the midterms.

"It's my expectation that Kristi Noem will be one of the first people hauled up to Congress shortly after the gavels change hands to get a real understanding for the American people as to this conduct that has taken place:

The lack of respect for due process, for the rule of law, the unleashing of masked agents on law-abiding immigrant communities, and the disappearing of people in some instances, to other countries without any real evidence that criminal behavior took place," Jeffries said in an interview with Tim Miller on "The Bulwark Podcast."

"All of this is going to require aggressive Oversight activity."

"Jeffries added that he supported the deportation of immigrants who have been convicted of violent crimes, "but not law-abiding immigrant families, including in some instances, U.S. citizen children who've been sent overseas to a place that they've never known."

Cruelty being the point of that kind of lawbreaking.

Retake the House in the midterms?

Last year it was the End of Democracy, and There Would Never Be Another Election.

That language sure changed fast.

Trump already said he'd suspend elections in 2028 by going to war.

Like it matters.

They'll "haul" her up to Congress, put her in a chair and yell at her for a few minutes without really asking any questions, then nothing will happen while they pat themselves on the back for "resisting."

The Dems are the WORST people possible to be the opposition to what is going on right now.

If the Dems don't retake the House in the midterms it's pretty much over for the Dems AND democracy.

Enjoy the FAFO.
