A White House official, granted anonymity to share internal thinking said, “Homan going is not a vote of confidence for” Noem.
“It’s not just moderate Republicans, it’s independent voters, it’s Hispanics, it’s young voters,” said a person close to the White House, speaking to voting groups Republicans should be worried about. The person was granted anonymity to speak about internal concerns.
“If I were President Trump, I would almost think about, OK, if the mayor and governor are going put our ICE officials in harm’s way and there’s a chance of losing more innocent lives, or whatever, then maybe go to another city and let the people of Minneapolis decide: Do we want to continue to have all of these illegals?” Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.) said Sunday on Fox News.
“CBP, the way they operate, they’re not up to speed on immigration laws. From what I understand, because they’re at the border, usually they just run like bandits and just pick up people from the streets,” said a Trump DHS official, granted anonymity to speak candidly. “ So I don’t think they’re that well versed in officially how to conduct business.”
