Media lied about Georgia townhall. Red-District DOGE Protests, Cited As Proof of Broad Musk 'Backlash,' Were Organized By Left-Wing Groups In one case, a former Dem county board candidate and self-described 'political activist' helped organize a viral demonstration in Georgia When angry voters confronted Rep. Rich McCormick over DOGE at a town hall held in the Georgia Republican's deep-red district, the New York Times, Washington Post, and CBS News cited the scene as proof of emerging bipartisan "backlash" over Elon Musk's efforts to slash government spending. CBS included a quote from one of the protest's organizers, Maggie Goldman, describing her only as a McCormick constituent. Goldman does live in McCormick's district, though she's far from a concerned supporter of the two-term Republican. A self-described "Democrat & Political Activist," Goldman, who did not respond to a request for comment, coordinated volunteers for Pete Buttigieg's presidential campaign in 2019 and 2020, according to her LinkedIn. Shortly thereafter, she ran for her local county commission as a Democrat seeking to enact a "more inclusive policy agenda." Goldman has donated exclusively to Democrats and sent Kamala Harris's campaign more than $1,500 last year, according to campaign finance records. On her Facebook page, she boasted of the national media attention the McCormick protest received, sharing screenshots of headlines alongside the caption, "We really were on fire." cont...

Kristi Noem just announced enforcement of Illegal Alien Registration Act. Unveiled on Jesse Watters show in last 20 minutes. DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced that she will be enforcing the Alien Registration Act. Kristi: "The Alien Registration Act says that within 30 days of being in this country illegally, someone must register with the federal government, and they will be fingerprinted." "They must announce that they are here, and if they do so, they can avoid criminal charges and fines and we will help them relocate right back to their home country." "What this does is provide them an opportunity to come back someday, and to be a part of the American dream." "If they don’t register, they are breaking the federal law, which has always been in place. We are just going to start enforcing it to make sure that these aliens go back home, and when they want to be an American they can come and visit us again." DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced that she will be enforcing the Alien Registration Act.

DHS unveils details on new ILLEGAL Alien Registration program. WASHINGTON — Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem late Tuesday announced a campaign to compel people in the United States without legal authority to register with the U.S. government and then self-deport. In doing so, Trump administration officials could carry out their plans for mass deportations without using agency resources for physical removals. Noem said in a press release that if a person without legal status fails to register online, that person will be subject to a fine, imprisonment or both. It’s unclear how much the fine is, or what charges would be levied that would result in imprisonment. In response to State Newsroom’s request for comment, DHS said it was looking into those details. “If you leave now, you may have the opportunity to return and enjoy our freedom and live the American dream,” a DHS spokesperson said in a statement. In order to return to the U.S. after a voluntary departure, an approved visa petition is needed, like a work visa, as well as a waiver of inadmissibility from a U.S. embassy or consulate. The registry is not up and running, but a form and process will be made available in the coming days, according to the DHS website. Registering would require submitting fingerprint information and other personal information. Adults and children 14 and older would be required to register. “Compelling mass self-deportation is a safer path for aliens and law enforcement, and saves U.S. taxpayer dollars, in addition to conserving valuable Customs and Border Protection (CBP) and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) resources needed to keep Americans safe,” according to the DHS press release. Tuesday’s late announcement comes as Noem has appeared in commercials where she has warned immigrants without legal authorization “will be hunted down and deported.” Those who are required to register include immigrants in the U.S. without legal authorization, “Canadian visitors who entered the United States at land ports of entry and were not issued evidence of registration” and those enrolled in the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA, program, or those with Temporary Protected Status, according to the DHS website.
