I’m supposed to be writing about Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem’s latest propaganda video, but honestly, can we talk about how ridiculous it is that she’s trying to scare people with a video filmed inside El Salvador’s Terrorism Confinement Center? I mean, what’s next, a tour of the Guantanamo Bay gift shop?
And let’s be real, the fact that she’s warning people that they might end up in this prison if they try to enter the U.S. without documentation is just a thinly veiled threat.

And if you want to learn more about the issue, I’d recommend reading up on it.
And can we talk about how Trump is citing some obscure wartime legislation to justify these deportations? I mean, is t
