Why Did You Lock Up His Wife? December 13, 2025December 13, 2025 ICE has apprehended some really bad people and we’re all the better off for that — especially when they’ve done it the American way (with due process) and not the dictator’s way (disappearing them). That said, don’t miss this exchange between Seth Magaziner and Kristi Noem. Magaziner: How many US military veterans have you deported? Noem: Sir, we have not deported US citizens or military veterans. Magaziner: We are joined on Zoom by a gentleman who is an Army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country in Panama in 1989. He is a combat vet, a Purple Heart recipient, he has sacrificed more for this country that most of us ever have. Can you please tell Mr. Park why you deported him to Korea, a country he hasn’t lived in since he was 7 years old? Noem: Every law needs to be enforced. Magaziner: An individual in the back — his name is Troy Brown from Missouri. He is a Navy combat vet who served in the Gulf War. He’s married to a woman named Donna who came here from Ireland legally when she was 11. She’s lived here 48 years. Because of you, Donna has been in prison for the last 4 months. Why did you lock up his wife? Noem: It is not my job to pick and choose which laws get enforced. People need to follow the law. It went on (the landscaper here for 30 years with no criminal record) until the Congressman summed up . . . Magaziner: You promised America that you would go after the worst of the worst. But these people are not the worst of the worst. A Purple Heart recipient, a military spouse, the father of three Marines. And it’s not just veterans and military families. You are locking up and deporting children with cancer, mothers with babies in the NICU. There are many problems with your leadership, but the biggest problem is this: you don’t seem to know how to tell the difference between the good guys and the bad guys. . . . and the Cabinet Secretary excused herself to go another (possibly imaginary) meeting. Filming ICE is the most American thing you can do, argues Scott Hechinger, as he analyzes this photo: THE AMERICAN RENAISSANCE CONFERENCE “Antifa” — short for “anti-fascist” — is not an organized group. It has no offices, leadership, or website and holds no conferences. America has been almost unanimously “antifa” throughout its history. Only now do some see anti-fascism as a threat. Like these guys, gathered in Tennessee for a conference. Which group better personifies American values? The ones whose lives Noem wrecks (above) — or these guys?
