Kristi Noem said a migrant threatened to kill Trump. Investigators think he was set up

I have a difficult time accepting elements of this story. First and foremost, I do not believe for one second Noem can read.

 

Once upon a time this would have been a huge scandal and grounds for firing. Now this will barely make news because of how far the bar has been lowered.

 

Criminal thinking 101: not upset because they did something wrong, up upset because they got caught.

 

1. What Noem did was idiotic and a total failure

2. An undocumented (illegal) immigrant who commits a hit and run should be in jail at the least probably be sent packing asap.

Both can be true.

 

You can say this weekly about any number of scandals.

 

While I sort of agree.

It falls short because we are comparing misdeeds (hit and run) of an individual with the actions of a high ranking official. We should expect more of one than the other.

The fact that a criminal, robber, knows they can harness the Gov’t to do their dirty works says something else. Rhetoric gone wild.

 

I sure hope they at least allow this guy to remain in the country to testify against the perpetrator of both the letter and the initial robbery against him. Otherwise, the administration is effectively legalizing crime against immigrants if they deport them before being allowed to testify as a victim.

 

At least she's not a thief like this guy. He should be in jail.

Meet Sam Brinton, non-binary Biden official arrested over stolen suitcase

 

Are you seriously comparing a suitcase thief to a dog murderer?

 

And your Dem elected officials want to keep those purse-snatching criminals here in the U.S.A. Crazy, right.

 

He deserves due process. But that is deportable to in my opinion if convicted.

Call me old school, but I'm not.a fan of referring to someone illegal as "undocumented".

He was an illegal alien deserving of due process, but a hit and run should be a pretty big strike against the process.

 

I agree on the hit and run issue for an illegal.

But

The bigger issue is an armed robber realizing he can harness the outrage to get his case thrown out.

The threat info was False. A fakery, a hoax even.

Maybe claiming the outrageous illegals victimhood as a set up could get him a pardon.

 

I have a family member that's in prison. Maybe I should send an email to ICE Barbie and say they were setup by a woke, DEI illegal

 

This is why so-called “sanctuary cities” have their policies. So immigrants can cooperate with law enforcement as witnesses and not have their immigration status against them.

Of course in this case, sounds like the immigrant has his own criminal past which should have him deported. He isn’t exactly a model for that type of sanctuary policy. So aside from the fact the administration fell for the hoax, it isn’t some travesty that this guy would be deported as he’s had multiple issues. Still makes you wonder about the criminal who mailed in the hoax. He should obviously be prosecuted and if he gets away with his crimes because of this “witness intimidation” stunt it sets a horrible standard.
