Insecure Ice Barbie, aka Misti Kristi of the Melanias, is ruining the lives of hundreds of people with her reckless and performative leadership at Homeland Security

 

Headline:  The Texas Tribune, 6/4/2025

Alejandro Serrano reports:

The actions have worried experts who see a troubling pattern of the government violating due process. “This is about something much bigger,” said Muzaffar Chishti, director of the Migration Policy Institute office at New York University School of Law. “If it happens to a person who is accused of being a (gang member) today, tomorrow it could happen to you and me. And if the alleged member of this gang does not have the right to contest [charges against them], how can you know I’ll have it? The next person will have it?”

The Tribune ran the 35 names found in the DPS records through databases of federal, Travis and Hays County court cases. None of the 35 had previous criminal cases in those jurisdictions, according to that review.
