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.

(161,104 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.

(75,439 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.

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...?

(16,616 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.
