Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem was barred from entering the Village of Broadview Municipal Building in Illinois to use the bathroom on Friday.
In a video posted on X by conservative commentator Benny Johnson, Noem said she was in the Chicago area to do some operations to pick up some guys with criminal convictions when she was denied access to the federal building by city police. A voice can be heard telling Noem and her colleagues, No, you cannot! after they asked to use the restroom.
As much as these local leaders and governors talk about cooperating and having the backs of our law enforcement officers, this is what we have to put up with every single day, she said. And all were doing is getting criminals, and terrorists, and cartels, and gang members off the streets.
In a subsequent post on X, Noem wrote that this is how JB Pritzker and his cronies treat our law enforcement and that their behavior is absolutely shameful. She also noted that the Village of Broadview receives at least $1 million in federal funding every year.

Receiving some federal funding shouldnt override the fact that it is a city hall.

(161,140 posts)The headline says "Illinois Government Building" and last I checked, state, county and city/town/muncipal buildings ARE "government buildings".
And in the first paragraph it says -
Broadview considers itself a "Village" (size-wise) and THAT is the name of their local "government" building.

There have been protests at that ICE facility - Protesters arrested outside Broadview ICE facility in Illinois as governor slams DHS Secretary Noems visit
Village of Broadview spokesperson David Ormsby told CNN in a statement, We are distressed to hear that the bathrooms are unavailable at the ICE facility.

It reads as though the city hall was a federal building. Sloppy journalism that muddies the waters.

(26,439 posts)How could city officials at a city hall bar her from entering a federal building?
BumRushDaShow
(161,140 posts)(she was apparently unable to use the bathroom at the ICE (federal) facility and went to the municipal building and was refused there as well)
The interesting "caveat" for the ICE facility was derived from the remark from the town spokesperson -

Village of Broadview spokesperson David Ormsby told CNN in a statement, We are distressed to hear that the bathrooms are unavailable at the ICE facility.

The ICE facility was apparently teeming with local cops dealing with the protestors and trying to keep them at bay and there may have been some altercation between the local cops to keep people away from the building, including her, and directed them elsewhere.
The rancor is shown in the above-linked article where further down it says this -
Noem visited Broadviews Village Hall unannounced to ask for a meeting with Mayor Katrina Thompson, who was out at the time, the spokesperson said.
The mayor returned her visit, Ormsby said. Mayor Thompson went to the ICE center, accompanied by the Broadview Police Chief Thomas, and officers, to ask for the illegal fence to be dismantled. The mayor was told by agents at the gate the secretary was unavailable to meet.

(161,140 posts)since there was apparently a confrontation between the mayor and people at the facility, where the Police chief that was with her, told the DHS people to dismantle the "illegal fence".
I expect there will be lots of these types of "interactions" and "confrontations" (i.e., spite) as long as they are there.

(75,443 posts)That was so phony and staged it was ridiculous. Having a camera crew along with her
as she made a piss stop at a local police station? Please. She and her people knew what
the answer was going to be before she went to the door. Why didnt she pee in the ICE building
she was in? Or stop in one of the many fast food restaurants that were near by? Or why didnt
one of her people call up the police station 1st?
And the Academy Award for best writing for the film, I Gotta Pee.
Governor Pritzker is at fault because he is so uncooperative.
We were out on an operation to round up gang and cartel members.
Pure Kabuki theater.

(56 posts)Noem asked to use a womens bathroom but refused to provide proof they are not trans.
The way Noem looks and acts, I think the refusal was fully in line with the policies of the current administration Noem serves. Dont know what they are complaining about.

(337 posts)I have a feeling that they knew Madame Puppy Killer was bringing a camera crew to do more than just use the restroom. She was planning something else and they knew about it and that's why they wouldn't let her in.

(8,917 posts)Maybe get her mug, again, in front of the cameras to prove how tough she is?
Create an episode like this with the help of MAGA Russian asset, Benny Johnson?
You'd think the Secretary of DHS would have more important things to do...?

(16,617 posts)That makes her appear so ugly to look at? I don't usually say this about people, particularly other women, but this woman just looks like the ugliness is seeping through her skin covering to me. It's almost painful to have to look at her.
I feel sort of the same about many of the women who have so obviously over done the plastic surgery. But I feel pity for most of them. Noem does not make me feel pity; she makes me feel anger. I remember that puppy.
Botany
(75,443 posts)That was just sick. For her to take an untrained dog into the field in a hunting situation and
then to shoot the dog because it didnt preform is so wrong.
Bird hunting with a dog can be magical but it just doesnt just happen without training.
A German Short Haired Spaniel even @ maturity is always a bag of energy that is so excited
that it is always quivering.
4 very separate and distinct commands:
Find the bird.
Point @ the bird.
Hold that point.
and flush that bird on command.
Btw lots of bird hunters bring along a retriever to fetch the bird after it has been shot.
Kristi is such a shit that she didnt understand that when bird dogs are first time brought into
the field they are on a lead and held back so they can watch and learn.
