“President Trump: I make a direct appeal to immediately fire Secretary Noem. Americans have died. She is betraying DHS’s core mission and trashing your border security legacy,” Fetterman said in a statement.

He warned Trump is at risk of repeating the mistake of former President Biden, who stood by his own embattled Homeland Security secretary, Alejandro Mayorkas, despite many complaints from Republicans over his handling of the job.

    Noem didn’t do a single thing Trump wouldn’t have encouraged. Fetterman voted for all of it. It’s all lame excuses and scape goating like they always do.

    Even when he’s taking a position opposed to Trump, he still can’t resist sucking up to him.

    Fetterman is such a little man.

    This fucker voted to suspend due process rights for immigrants, which directly led to giving ICE all this power in the first place.

    He needs to be “fired” for what happened in Minnesota.

      Seriously laughable hearing fetterman take this stand after his support for trump. Ugly fuck can’t even show up to work and vote on important legislation, or when he does he’s voting with the pedophile clan. Get fucked, hopefully PA primaries this ass hole.

    Don’t forget, Vance and Miller were out there telling everyone ICE has total immunity. They’ve got to go too. Keep the pressure on your elected officials.

      This is really the important point, specifically Miller. Even Vance is an empty vessel, he isn’t the motivator here. Miller is the one directing all of this.

      If these people are getting thrown to the wolves by Trump, it’s because Miller sees danger to himself and is Wormtonguing Trump to give the public & media fresh meat. But Miller’s goal here is just to make them stop pursuing before public hearings, investigations and the blame cycle reaches him. He’s hoping by replacing a few people (and maybe offering up Noem), the pliant GOP and fickle media will drop this.
