No I don’t. The consequence I’m referring to isn’t any sort of change in policy or future criminal repercussions for ICE en masse or anything.
The consequence I’m referring to is literally just Noem getting replaced. It doesn’t stop ICE or change what they’re doing, but it’s better than an alternative where opposition to the current gov’s ICE policies is so locked down that they can’t even manage to do that much.
You called it an improvement.
Noem did exactly what he wanted. The next one will do the same. Trump hasn’t had any repercussions, and Noem is being put onto a new board. Whether its called being fired or not, there is no apparent change or any real consequences here. Her not being the face still? What actual consequence is she receiving? Still being paid by the federal government, now with a new, probably more horrifying organization to be supposedly announced today?
Its hard to call a parallel move a “consequence”, or the same approach to the people living in the US an “improvement”.
