‘Noem should resign over this’: Fury over alleged DHS ‘child kidnapping and trafficking’

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should resign and be criminally charged, according to critics who seized on a report revealing that zero people who were arrested in a high-profile raid were charged with a crime.

ProPublica recently reported on the DHS raid on an apartment building that was alleged to have been filled with purported gang members. The outlet stated, “Federal prosecutors have not filed criminal charges against anyone who was arrested. Nor have they revealed any evidence showing that two immigrants arrested in the building belonged to the Tren de Aragua gang, or even provided their names.”

This conclusion led to outrage on X.

Journalist Isaac Saul wrote, “Remember the Chicago apartment raid? With Blackhawk helicopters? That was in a building ‘filled with Tren de Agua terrorists,’ according to Stephen Miller? ProPublica is reporting not a *single* person who was arrested has been charged with a crime.”

Ex-MSNBC host Mehdi Hasan said, “Noem should resign over this.”

Conservative analyst Stuart Stevens also weighed in:

“Noem should be criminally charged for knowingly engaging in child kidnapping and trafficking.”

Hakeem Jeffries over the weekend wrote, “Kristi Noem is a corrupt disgrace.”

“Resign,” the Dem leader added.

Dem Senator Roland Gutierrez said, “Not one person charged. Kristi Noem must resign.”
