Today, more than ever, we need to distinguish the truth from lies. Kristi Noem wanted us to believe that Alex Pretti was a terrorist despite the video that clearly shows this ER nurse holding a phone, then being thrown to the ground and shot in the back. It’s hard to lie when your eyes tell you something different.

Glenn Thompson has complimented Noem for taking 45 violent criminals off the streets of Bellefonte. Problem is that there were only 10 felony arrests in Bellefonte in 2025. Also, it is considered a very safe city, safer than 74% of all US cities. Back in August ICE arrested and took away 24 construction workers as they were on their way to work. They were not felons, just workers trying to make an honest living.

ICE is only pretending to pursue violent criminals; instead they are arresting hard-working individuals along with innocent citizens. Be careful about believing lies regarding ICE and immigrants.
