'Scum of the earth': Noem, Homan rip sanctuary city policies after NYC Border Patrol agent shooting
U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem lashed out Monday against New York City officials over their sanctuary policies as authorities arrested a second man living in the country illegally in connection with the shooting of an off-duty U.S. Customs and Border Protection officer. Kristi Noem called the two suspects, both from the Dominican Republic, “scum of the earth.” She said they'd accumulated lengthy criminal records in just a few years and should have never been free to commit Saturday’s robbery-gone-wrong in a Manhattan park.
