The Department of Homeland Security has been slammed for detaining a middle school boy in what appears to be a violation of its own stated policy.
The department, headed by ICE Barbie Kristi Noem, alleged on X that an unnamed 13-year-old Brazilian national was arrested and transferred to a detention center 500 miles from his family because he has “an EXTENSIVE rap sheet.”
“Remember when these accounts seemed legitimate??” wrote a Michigan-based critic of DHS’s justification, which did not include proof of convictions. “We’re now at the point where I wonder if I’m being tricked by fake accounts… Nope… just our government acting like children. I’ve seen more professionalism at our local pizza shop run by [high school] students.”
