Congressman Eric Swalwell repeatedly asks Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to clarify whether a photo shared by Trump — used to label Abrego Garcia as an MS-13 gang member — was doctored.

Despite multiple opportunities, Noem declines to directly answer. The exchange raises serious questions about transparency, evidence, and the use of imagery to justify deportations under current DHS policy.

I was a psychology major in college and I worked at one my senior year - Marcy State Hospital was the infamous one here in New York. An attorney who appeared on MSNBC awhile back said that the felon-in-chief's lawyers should recommend that he surrender to that type of facility rather than ending up in jail.

3. Butner, NC

is the federal lockup for the criminally insane. St. Elizabeth's in DC is where Ezra Pound was confined.
