BREAKING: Kristi Noem’s right-hand woman busted in DANGEROUS LIE about a 13-year-old child!!
In a shocking new scandal, Donald Trump’s Department of Homeland Security — led by Secretary Kristi Noem and her 31-year-old spin doctor Tricia McLaughlin — is facing calls for investigation after publicly outing, smearing, and lying about a 13-year-old child detained by ICE.
Yes, you read that right: the federal agency in charge of protecting Americans illegally exposed the identity and photo of a minor asylum-seeker to millions — and then fabricated claims that the boy had a gun, all in a desperate attempt to justify ICE’s actions.
When the mayor and police chief of Everett, Massachusetts, called them out for lying — confirming that no firearm existed — McLaughlin doubled down. She posted the boy’s name, date of birth, and mugshot to her 87,000 followers, and DHS blasted it out to 2.7 million more. Then a “high-ranking Trump official” leaked his immigration court records to Fox News, trying to brand a child as a “gang member” to feed MAGA outrage.
Legal experts say what DHS did isn’t just unethical — it’s illegal. Juvenile records are protected by state and federal law. Even a Trump-friendly lawyer admitted: “There are no exceptions that would permit DHS to release juvenile history and mugshots just to deflect criticism.”
But this isn’t an accident. It’s the Trump playbook.
This administration has turned cruelty into policy and propaganda into governance — targeting children, asylum seekers, and anyone who exposes their lies. McLaughlin, already dubbed the “Secretary of Lies” by immigration experts, has repeatedly spread falsehoods about ICE brutality and migrant families. And Noem’s DHS, under Trump’s orders, is racing to hit deportation quotas while trampling over basic human rights.
Think about that: a 13-year-old ripped from his family, detained 500 miles away, then smeared on national television — by the government that’s supposed to protect him.
This is not “law and order.” This is state-sponsored defamation. It’s intimidation dressed up as transparency. And it’s exactly how authoritarians operate: pick a target, tell a lie, and dare anyone to stop them.
Every Democrat, journalist, and decent American should be demanding accountability now. Kristi Noem’s DHS and Tricia McLaughlin must face investigation for breaking privacy laws, violating ethics codes, and weaponizing taxpayer-funded platforms to dehumanize a child. Because if we stay silent while Trump’s people smear a seventh-grader to score political points, no one’s rights are safe.
This isn’t “flipping the script.” It’s burning the rulebook — and the soul of our democracy — to ash.
