Michigan state senator Mallory McMorrow (D) strongly criticized Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem Thursday ahead of Noem’s visit to Michigan.
“Kristi Noem is headed to Michigan to fearmonger about border security with… Canada,” Mallory said on the social platform X.
“The Trump administration’s mass deportation boondoggle is nothing but security theater that actually make us LESS safe,” she added.
McMorrow continued: “All to the tune of an additional $1 TRILLION in your taxpayer dollars.”
In a video attached to her X post, the Michigan lawmaker said immigrants are being arrested even when they show up to their court hearings and try to follow the legal pathway to immigration. She called Noem’s immigration actions “ineffective security theater.”
McMorrow accused the Trump administration of going after people “who have committed no egregious crimes” “Like an 18-year-old student just three credits away from high school graduation here in Michigan,” she added.
On Wednesday, NBC reported that seven Senate Democrats who supported Noem’s confirmation as DHS secretary in January are now expressing regret and disillusionment with her performance.
