Noem attends ICE raid at home of pregnant California mother

HUNTINGTON PARK, Calif. (KTLA) — A pregnant mother of four in California was shocked to see around a half-dozen vehicles carrying heavily armed, masked U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents outside her home Thursday morning and even more concerned when she spotted Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem along for the raid.

Sabrina Medina said she was in the shower at around 6 a.m. when her brother-in-law first saw the menacing presence in front of the family’s home.

“I was just terrified, I’m not going to lie to you,” Medina told Nexstar’s KTLA. “I was shaking. I was scared. I’ve never gone through anything like this.”

Medina, a U.S. citizen, said she looked out the window and saw 10 men dressed in tactical military gear, all of them carrying rifles.

“I was like, ‘Am I dreaming or is this real?’” she said.

According to Medina, the agents told her to exit her home with her children. Standing in the driveway, they showed her a warrant for her husband, with his name listed as David Garcia.

As she explained that her husband’s name is Jorge and that he was not at the house, one of the agents is captured on an outdoor home surveillance camera turning the device away from what was transpiring.

she could have been inspired by this situation to come up with her most ludicrous costume yet, maybe to ring the doorbell and gain the lady’s confidence to let them in. I put nothing past Kristi Noem, Master of Diguise.

It used to be that the FBI and DOJ were the pros in the world and did things by the book. It seems like they have been recruiting from the white supremacy groups since GW Bush changed it all to Homeland Security

I would much rather see her deported. She's a far more dangerous criminal than anyone ICE has been kidnapping.

she is flying around, micro-managing all these cheap video cosplay appearances for Fox News.............And, is she still impatiently waiting for her NEW Government Gulfstream to galavant around the country is style......

Lends proof, indirectly, that SOMEONE ELSE is Truly/actually running Homeland Security and not her..........Makes one wonder if 2025 is running EVERYTHING these days from the shadows......And not Trump or any of his CABAL........

needs to be disappeared into his own hell. He is full of hate and wants his own home state to fall into ruin. He wants revenge against others, cause he's a weak sick POS.

He wants a White Nationalist country.

Get rid of an immigrant (who may or not be "illegal&quot and an "anchor baby" at the same time.

but you're right about them not wanting another of the "wrong" type of baby being born here. They will pay people to have the "right" type of baby.

But once His Majesty labels her an "illegal", they won't care what happens to her, or her baby.

As I said elsewhere, they are just trying to fill a quota, which is how Stalin built terror.
