More corruption. During her time as DHS Secretary, Kristi Noem gave over $900 MILLION in contracts to companies led by one of her political donors. This included the purchase of multiple luxury jets well above market value.   Every penny of their corruption must be investigated.

If we're going to denaturalize and deport people for sex trafficking they hid on their citizenship applications, is there a reason this would not apply to Ghislaine Maxwell?
CHILD SEX ABUSER’S CITIZENSHIP REVOKED AFTER NATURALIZATION FRAUD CONVICTION
 
Cyril Domaquik Clemens, a Liberian native, was convicted of three counts of indecent liberties with a child after confessing to sexually molesting a young child.
 
The abuse began before he naturalized, but he concealed it during the citizenship process, fraudulently obtaining U.S. citizenship.
