Bigotry
Why didn't you press him on the treatment of Padilla and Lander? They were doing nothing aggressive or illegal. Padilla tried to ask a question, and he, a US Senator, in a federal building, was even ushered into the space by security. Noem lied about the event. What about those with valid student visas who are apprehended because they expressed opinions that the government does not like? all in all seems to me you gave him free reign to justify what they are doing. Congratulations.
