DHS Goon Melts Down at Dem Governor Over ICE Barbie Policy [View all]

A senior Department of Homeland Security official has lashed out at Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker—telling him to “get out of your mansion & go see Chicago.”

On Sunday, Pritzker used a TV appearance to blast DHS Secretary Kristi Noem—nicknamed ICE Barbie for her love of dolling-up for in-the-field stunts—after she sent ICE units into Chicago.

Alleging that ICE was “just picking up people who are brown and Black and then checking their credentials,” Pritzker said ICE had turned the city into a “war zone.”

He added: “If they’re not gonna focus on the worst of the worst, which is what the president said they were gonna do, they need to get the heck out.”

Pritzker’s appearance led DHS communications boss Tricia McLaughlin to have a major meltdown on social media—branding his CNN remarks “a smorgasbord of lies,” and denying children had been zip-tied in Thursday’s raid.

Tricia, sweetie, there is PHOTOGRAPHIC EVIDENCE of the zip-tying and more. Now STFU before your mouth gets you in MORE trouble.
