Kristi Noems Department of Homeland Security falsely accused a mom who lost her baby while locked up by ICE of being a wanted killer.
The DHS smeared Iris Dayana Monterroso-Lemus after she went public with the harrowing story of how she was forced to spend three days in custody carrying the fetus of her dead son when she miscarried at 20 weeks.
Days later, in early May, she was deported to Guatemala as part of a wave of ICE arrests and deportations ordered by President Trump and overseen by Noem, nicknamed ICE Barbie for her elaborate photo-ops.
Monterroso-Lemus alleged she received no prenatal care and minimal medical attention, despite warning guards she was in severe pain before her miscarriage and subsequent stillbirth.
The mother of six, 38, gave an interview about her experience to the Nashville Banner on May 27. She described having to sleep starving on the floor of the notorious cockroach-infested Richwood Correctional Center, in Louisiana. She said she was forced to deliver her stillborn child while a prison guard watched over her.

What goes around, comes around. Maybe not today, but one of these days. And what is done in the dark will be revealed in the light.

(4,729 posts)... if not a bit lower, was an ICE goon shooting "non-lethal" projectiles point blank at an elderly protester after she'd fallen, losing her grip on her walker. She had to be taken to the hospital. The ICE goon, of course, suffered no consequences. These men are flat-out evil.
