Gotta hand it to Kristi Noem and her ICE goons. They’ve arrested an old man in Minnesota where the dragged him from his house in the snow with little more than a blanket and shorts on him only to release him hours later when the realised the man they actually wanted has been in prison since Biden was President. Then the also detained a 5 year old in Minnesota and shipped him off to a detention facility in Texas when they arrested their father who has an active asylum case with no deportation order, meaning he can’t legally be detained or deported. Now they’ve also had to admit they doctored a photo of a woman ICE detained also in Minnesota by making it look like she was emotional when she actually wasn’t at all. Worse still, they say “the memes will continue”.

It’s amateur hour at DHS with absolute clowns running the show!

This picture. The old ma is suffering from dermatitis - poor blood circulation to his lower legs. You can see the redness in his shins. He was detained in a case of mistaken identity. Don’t these ICE morons even check these people’s identification first?

No I’m not. That old man in the photo was the wrong person. The man they wanted - who they mistook for this man - is in prison and has been since Biden was President.

They check for the colour of skin, foreign sounding name, accent, and whether they voted for Trump or not.

As Roo said, this is about punishment for not supporting Trump - it has absolutely nothing to do with law enforcement or keeping the streets safe.

White House, DHS push back on claims ICE targeted 5-year-old in Minnesota, say child was 'abandoned'
The child is now back with his father, an illegal alien from Ecuador, at a Texas detention facility, officials say

The Department of Homeland Security said a child, whom Minnesota Democrats alleged had been targeted by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, was actually "abandoned" during an immigration enforcement operation.

After Democrats, including Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz and Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., shared an image of a 5-year-old boy online and claimed he was arrested by ICE while coming home from pre-school, the White House fired back in a statement to Fox News Digital. White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson condemned what the Trump administration views as the mainstream media working "hand-in-glove with Democrats to spread malicious lies about ICE operations."

"It’s shameful that the media so quickly runs with the fake Democrat narrative without first getting the facts," Jackson said. "Here’s the reality: ICE officers work heroically with the utmost professionalism to make American communities safer. In this instance, they stayed with a child who was abandoned by his father — an illegal alien from Ecuador."


"The media’s lies have consequences — assaults against ICE officers have increased by 1300% because of dangerous smears against them by elected Democrats that are amplified by the press," she added. "The Trump Administration is not only removing dangerous criminal illegal aliens from the country, but we are also locating the countless migrant children that Joe Biden lost. Thanks to the Administration’s efforts well over 120,000 children have been located."

"ICE did NOT target a child. The child was ABANDONED," Homeland Security wrote on X on Thursday. "On January 20, ICE conducted a targeted operation to arrest Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias, an illegal alien from Ecuador who was RELEASED into the U.S. by the Biden administration."

"As agents approached the driver Adrian Alexander Conejo Arias fled on foot — abandoning his child. For the child’s safety, one of our ICE officers remained with the child while the other officers apprehended Conejo Arias," it added.

"Parents are asked if they want to be removed with their children, or ICE will place the children with a safe person the parent designates. This is consistent with past administration’s immigration enforcement," DHS also said.

In another post, DHS wrote: "Our officer’s made multiple attempts to get the mother inside the house to take custody of her child. Officers even assured her that they would NOT take her into custody. She refused to accept custody of the child. The father told officers he wanted the child to remain with him. Our officers primary concern during the entire operation was the safety and welfare of the child. Following the mother’s abandonment of the child, officers abided by the father’s wishes to keep the child with him. Father and son are together at Dilley [Immigration Processing Center]."
