Do you remember how earlier this year, South Dakota Governor Christy Noem thought it would be, you know, a good idea to put in writing in her own book, that she shot and killed her 14-month-old dog cricket because cricket was, quote, untrainable.

Now, the reason Governor Noam thought that would be a good anecdote to recall is because she wanted to

illustrate her willingness in politics as well as in South Dakota life to do anything difficult,

messy, and ugly if it simply needs to be done. Now, even after that story did not exactly land

the way the governor thought it might. She doubled down,

tweeting that shooting her 14-month-old dog wasn't easy, but often the easy way isn't the right way.

This is the person that Donald Trump is planning to nominate to run the Department of Homeland Security in his upcoming administration.

And just to be clear, South Dakota is closer to the Canadian border than it is to the southern border.

But for whatever reason, Donald Trump has picked South Dakota Governor Christy Noem to be his Homeland Security Secretary, dog killing, and all.

And the wildest part about that choice is that so far, out of everyone Trump has tapped

to run his immigration policy in the next term, dog killing Christy Nome is probably the most

So you grab illegal immigrants and then you move them to the staging grounds and that's what

the planes are waiting for federal law enforcement to then move those illegals home.

You deputize the National Guard to carry out immigration enforcement.

The military has the right to establish a fortress position on the border and to say no one can cross here at all.

That was Trump advisor Stephen Miller. He is reportedly expected to be named Trump's deputy

chief of staff for policy, and we don't even have to imagine what his plans are when it comes

to immigration. Late last year, Miller spoke to the New York Times, laying out plans that

involved sweeping raids, giant camps, and mass deportations. And by mass deportations, the goal here

is millions of people a year. A project that Miller and Nome will be aided in by Tom Homan,

who Trump has named his quote-unquote borders are.
