DHS: ‘Daycare Workers Have Walked Freely in This Country For Far Too Long’

WASHINGTON—Reaffirming the Trump administration’s promise to crack down on individuals providing supervision and instruction to youngsters across the United States, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem stated at a press conference Thursday that daycare workers have walked freely in this country for far too long. “Time and time again, we have allowed these people to watch our kids while we’re at work with no consequences,” said Noem, adding that caregivers would no longer get off scot-free for tending to children’s every need. “Previous administrations have done nothing while these dangerous offenders indoctrinated our children with letters, shapes, and numbers. But now America is back, and we will not stand for this. The Biden-era nightmare of childcare providers doling out apple juice with impunity is finally over. Americans can sleep soundly knowing that ICE remains dedicated to getting these caregivers out of our essential workforce.” Noem then stepped away from the podium to deal with staffing shortages that arose when DHS employees could no longer find childcare.
