Trump started off the day with an Insurrection Act threat. DHS Sec. Noem followed up by saying that anyone "surrounding" any DHS target has to prove their legal status.
Why in god's name does she think a US Citizen has to "prove" their citizenship no matter where they are. Being next to a "target" can simply be going into Home Depot to get a bag of nails. Or walking past a house. Or trying to get home from a ball game and getting teargassed such that your baby stops breathing. At least they didn't try to arrest those folks, even though they were black. https://www.jalopnik.com/2077210/ice-throws-flash-bang-at-family-car-minneapolis/
If asked why we are there, just say we are observing.
For the protests to rise to being a "rebellion" wouldn't the protestors have to be tear gassing and flash bombing the ICE guys, rather than vice versa?
The implications are both absurd and frightening. I thought high school in Houston for nearly 30 years. I am morally certain that there was at least one undocumented student in every single class that I taught. I'm a white guy born in a military hospital in a major American city -- but they're going to insist upon verifying my citizenship? I would not so politely tell them to bugger off.
It’s worth remembering that while Kristi Noem talks tough about border stops and security — saying “anyone can face a Kavanaugh stop” and defending aggressive enforcement — there was a moment last year that underlined how real security gaps can happen anywhere. In April 2025, Noem’s purse was stolen from a restaurant in Washington, D.C. while she was dining with her family, even though Secret Service agents were present. The bag contained her passport, driver’s license, DHS access badge, keys, blank checks, and about $3,000 in cash, and surveillance footage later showed a masked man walking up and taking it right out from under her table. 
That incident was more than an embarrassing headline — it highlighted how security isn’t just about rhetoric. A senior official whose job is to protect the homeland still faced a basic theft in a public setting, raising questions about attention to detail and vulnerability. It’s a reminder that security isn’t just about posturing or talking points, it’s about practical, everyday preparedness, and that no one — regardless of title — is immune from lapses.
We demand the ice thugs show their citizenship ID!
She doesn’t know shit!! She’s not a lawyer, she’s regurgitating false BS apropos of an unqualified imp within an unqualified administration

Deep in Noem’s costume chest there must be a red nose and oversized shoes … and driving gloves for the tiny car.
Robin Kelly, D IL-2, has introduced impeachment articles against Noem. Apparently thare are Dems who are skeptical, per Axios.
Please ask your Rep to join in. Even if your Rep is a Republican.

Thank you for the heads up! I’m papered up!
Call me naive, but I almost think the people of Minnesota would be better off being occupied by the army than by DHS.

A Noem Stop would include anyone with a sidelong glance.
