"I mean, do not allow these people to abscond this from the United States of America because some of them, I guarantee, are contemplating it because of what has been exposed."

A reporter accused Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem of "undercutting" promises to detain immigrants who were "the worst of the worst" by instead arresting non-criminals.

"We've seen, outside immigration court here in New York City, people still with pending green card claims, pending asylum claims are grabbed right outside of court," the reporter told Noem at a press conference on Monday. "So my question is this: I understand you're saying you're targeting mostly violent people. Are you not undercutting your own argument when you arrest those others?"

You're not. A lot of people don't know what it is. Can you describe what or who is Q?"

Pro-MAGA Newsmax host T.W. Shannon said he was "ticked off" after the Wall Street Journal reported that President Donald Trump had once sent Jeffrey Epstein a doodle of a naked woman with a note about a "wonderful secret."
