Christy Gnome was just cross-examined at a House of Representative hearing by Democrats who put on a master class
Christine Gnome was stunned
She was largely frozen
And then she said she had to leave the hearing early because she had other commitments
She then walked out and was heckled by people in the crowd as she left
Now leading the incredible cross-examination was Democratic Congress member Seth Magaziner from Rhode Island
This is one of the best line of questioning I've ever seen as a trial lawyer, I might add
So, let me show you what Magaziner did right here
It was absolutely brilliant
Here, play this clip
Madam Secretary, how many United States military veterans have you deported
Uh, sir, we have not deported
US citizens or military veterans
I don't believe you served in the military
I haven't either
But I think you and I can agree that as Americans, we owe everything to those who have served our country in uniform, particularly those who have served in combat
Do you agree with that
Sir, I believe that people that are in this United States that are citizens have legal status here
Those Madam Secretary, we are joined on Zoom by a gentleman named Sejun Park
He is a United States Army combat veteran who was shot twice while serving our country in Panama in 1989
Like many veterans, he struggled with PTSD and substance abuse after his service
He was arrested in the 1990s for some minor drug offenses
Nothing serious
He never hurt anyone besides himself
And he's been clean and sober for 14 years
He is a combat veteran, a Purple Heart recipient
He has sacrificed more for this country than most people ever have
Earlier this year, you deported him to Korea, a country he hasn't lived in since he was 7 years old
Will you join me in thanking Mr
Park for his service to our country
Sir, I'm grateful for every single person that has served our country and follows our laws
Can you please tell Mr
Park why you deported
Every one of them needs to be enforced
But you understand that many veterans struggle with PTSD
many drug uh veterans struggle with with substance abuse challenges
Uh this man took two bullets for our country
Will you you have broad authority, by the way, as secretary to issue humanitarian parole to to do deferred action
Will you commit to at least looking at Mr
Park's case to see if you can help him find a pathway back to this country that he sacrificed so much for
I will absolutely look at his case, but I want you to remember that
Madam Secretary, the man behind you, please stand up, sir
His name is Jim Brown from Troy, Missouri
He is a Navy combat veteran who served our country in the Gulf War
He's married to a woman named Donna who came to our country legally from Ireland when she was 11 years old
She has lived here for 48 years
Because of you, Jim's wife, Donna, has been in prison for the last 4 months
She did not come here illegally and she has never committed any crime other than writing two bad checks totaling $80 10 years ago
She is currently in prison and facing deportation
Miss Gnome, will you thank Mr
Brown for his service to our country
Thank you, Mr
Brown, for your service to our country
Now, what possible explanation can there be for locking up his wife for 4 months when she has committed no crime other than writing a couple of bad checks for $80
Sir, it is not my prerogative, my latitude, or my job to pick and choose which laws in this country get in
You have broad discretion as the secretary
You can you can issue you can do all kinds of things, but you're choosing not to
Will you commit again to just reviewing Donna's case and reuniting this combat veteran with his beloved wife who also loves this country
I will review the case
Then you had Congresswoman MacGyver cross-examining uh Christine Nome
And then Christy Nome just tried to yell and talk over her here
Watch what took place
Let's play it
Thank you, Secretary Gnome
Do you agree that using DHS resources to target members of Congress is an abuse of power
Excuse me
Would you say that
You would have heard me if you stopped talking and listened to my questions
Do you agree that using DHS resources to target members of Congress is an abuse of power
We are not doing that
We are out there enforcing the law, doing our work, and we are allowing over
Of course, we're not going to get any chairman
I yield back
Gentle lady yields back
I now recognize a gentleman from Oklahoma, Mr
McCine, for five minutes of questions
Next, I'll show you Democratic Congress member Dan Goldman cross-examining Christy Gnome and getting her to essentially admit that what she was doing by going after people who are going through the asylum process is patently unlawful
Here, play this clip to the five minutes
I'm I'm sorry, but uh gentlemen from New York is now recognized Mr
Goldman for five minutes
Secretary Gnome, let's talk about the law
Do you agree that asylum is a lawful pathway to immigrate to this country
Yes or no
There's an asylum program
Yes
In place
All right
So, immigrants then with ongoing asylum applications are legally in this country
Correct
Excuse me
I'm sorry
Your question was immigrants with ongoing asylum applications are legally in this country
There are individuals in this country that have applications that and they are legally here because it's a lawful pathway, right
It's a lawful path pathway
Okay
So, if your department then deports anyone with an ongoing asylum application, you are violating the law
Correct
Joe Biden left us with I'm not asking about Joe Biden
I'm asking you a specific question
If your department deports anyone with an ongoing asylum application, you are violating the law
Is that correct
It was greatly violated when they allowed you to come ac with an ongoing asylum application, you are violating the law
Isn't that correct
the asylum program was broken under the last Mr
Chairman
I will reclaim my time
She's not answering the question
And but the obvious answer is that yes, if you follow a lawful pathway, asylum is a lawful pathway
If you have an open asylum case, you are here lawfully
But the problem that we are seeing around the country is that you are not following the law
Don't tell us to change the law
If you don't like the asylum system, you change the asylum law
Bring it to us
We'll work with you
I think it needs to be changed
But you can't just decide that you're not going to follow the law and asylum is a law and deport people who have ongoing applications
Unfortunately, that is exactly what's happening
It's happening across the street from my office right in New York City
And then Christine M said, "I gotta go
I'm out
I actually have other commitments to be had
So I'm going to have to leave this hearing a little bit early." Here, play this clip
Dollars immediately and we're responding immediately to our people
I have to actually leave this hearing early because the FEMA review council is giving their report today on suggestions for changes to FEMA
Thank you for not taking your foot off the gas
I have to co-chair it, but I will be leaving soon to have to go do that
But those and here she was heckled
on the way out
Let's play it
I recognize a gentle lady from Texas, Miss Johnson
Five minutes of questions
I'm just going to take the position that she's scared of my questions
Mr
Chairman, if we could stop the clock and after all this clerk will suspend
If we could reset the time, that would be helpful
We'll reset the clock
Gentle lady prepared
How dare you
How dare you
How dare you
How dare you
Okay
Uh, thank you
Is recognized
Yeah
Thank you, Mr
Chairman
There was another hearing taking place
So once I was able to stop watching the Christy Gnome hearing because that was done, I then tuned in to see Benny Thompson uh cross-examining one of Donald Trump's FBI goons about Antifa cuz the MAGA Republicans in this other House of Representatives hearing were saying the biggest terrorist threat is Antifa
So Benny Thompson, Congressman Thompson, Democrat, he had the best line of questioning
He's like, "All right, where's Antifa located
Where's their headquarters
How many people are part of it
You're the head of the FBI as it relates to Antifa
Tell us and watch this guy crumble under Thompson's crossexamination
Play this clip
The executive order of domestic terrorist organization, Antifa
That's our our primary concern right now
All right
That's what President Trump did
What does the FBI say
We share the same view
When you look at the data right now, you look at the domestic terrorist threat that we're facing right now, what I see from my position is that's the most immediate violent threat that we're facing on the domestic side
So where is Antifa headquartered
What we're doing right now with the organization, where in the United States does Antifa exist
Yeah
If it's a terrorist organization and you've identified it as number one, we are building out the infrastructure right now
So what does that mean
You I'm just we're trying to get the information
You say Antifa is a terrorist organization
Tell us as a committee
How did you come to that
Where they where do they exist
How many members do they have in the United States as of right now
Well, that's very fluid
It's it's ongoing for us to understand that the same no different than al-Qaeda and ISIS
Now, now I don't want you I ask one question, sir
I just want you to tell us if you said Antifa is the number one domestic terrorist organization uh operating in the United States
I just need to know where they are, how many people
I don't want a name
I don't want anything like that
Just how many people have you identified with the FBI
uh that Antifa is made of
Well, the investigations are active
Sir, you wouldn't come to this committee and say something you can't prove
I know
I know you wouldn't do that
But you did
Um Oh, yeah
I want to show you one other point of that Christy Gnome uh hearing, the cross- exam of her
So, you had a Congresswoman Ramirez, I think, realized that Christine was just going to lie the whole time
So, she just made this incredible uh kind of compilation to show that Christine Gnome is a pathetic little liar
Watch this here
Play this clip
An article by ProPublica from October 16, 2025 entitled, "We found that more than 170 US citizens have been held by immigration agents
They've been kicked." There's nothing smiling about US citizens
I'm sorry, that's very inappropriate
Let me continue
They've been kicked, dragged, and detained for days
The next one, the Trump administration has specifically targeted the worst of the worst
The individuals that we are going after are those that are violent criminals, those that are breaking our laws
Do you, Secretary Gnome
Again, you lied to the American people
I will be including to the article into the record an article by the NBC News from December 7, 2025 entitled ICE has arrested nearly 75,000 people with no criminal records
Data shows the co-equal branch of government and it is your obligation as a member of the executive branch to honor decisions made by the highest court of the land
Yes or no
Secretary, we are abiding by all all federal judges orders
Absolutely
The Justice Department said that when the administration was ordered back in March to stop sending detained migrants to a mega prison in El Salvador, you personally made the final call to continue the flights anyway
Is that correct
And the decisions that are made on deportations, where flights go and when they go are my decision at the Department of Homeland Security
We'll continue to do the right thing, continue to work and do uh protect Americans no matter what radical judge comes out and tries to stop us
We'll do
You lied on the record and you lied to members of this committee
You violated court orders by not turning around deportation flights bound for El Salvador, where we know that hundreds of people under your leadership have reported that they were raped, they were beaten, and they nearly died
And your agents used chemical weapons in Chicago despite court orders from District Court Judge Ellis forbidding their use
Secretary Nome, you Gregory Bavino and your ICBP and DHS deputized agents have waged an unaccountable, unlawful, unconstitutional war against communities across the nation
Show you this other moment too where you had another Democratic congressman say, "Look, you've not you're not following federal court orders." We all know that to be the case here
Let's play this
Donald Trump said that your ICE agents haven't gone far enough
Do you think terrorizing American citizens and assaulting peaceful protesters isn't far enough
Congressman, the Department of Homeland Security and this administration complies with all federal court orders
We always have and we always will
Not true
And we will continue to appeal
And sir, I will even tell you that at the highest court at the Supreme Court, the Department of Homeland Security in our litigation has an over 90% success rate in winning at the highest court in our battle against activist judges across this country
Madam Secretary, the judges will continue to appeal and then when it gets to the highest court and we get a decision, it has proven that we have been compliant
I will also say madam madam secretary, let me do you want me to answer your questions or not
I do, but let me uh you haven't been telling us the truth
Uh, look, there have been at least 170 known cases of citizens being arrested or detained by federal immigration agents this year alone
This is the truth
Are you lying to the American people right now by denying these reports
When we are doing our targeted enforcement operations against criminal illegal aliens, individuals that are in that area may be detained until we verify who they are and then they are released
This has been done for years in every single law enforcement operation that has always happened
We follow the same protocols and we continue to do that
We have never once detained or deported an American citizen
We have not held them and charged them
Uh when we find out verify their identity, then that is when they are released
You also and then I'll remind you all that uh I did a video on it this morning that uh Christine M she may be too busy to remain in Congress but not too busy for the Department of Homeland Security to make videos more uh torture videos showing border patrol agents and ICE attacking migrants uh and they go cuffing season and then they made another one obviously you know with Sabrina Carpenters's music and Sabrina Carpenter called them out and said, "Don't you dare steal my music and use it to attack migrants." And then the Trump regime attacked Sabrina Carpenter, the pop star
And then Sabrina Carpenter got like 138 million views to her post
So the Trump regime took it down because they were humiliated by a pop star
Remember that
Oh, and then Governor Nuome posted his own video of cuffing season, which was a video of Donald Trump and Hegsith and Steven Miller getting handcuffed and thrown into prison for being war criminals and their crimes against humanity
Great work to all of the Congress members we highlighted, but especially Congress member magazer
That was brilliant
And our heart goes out to all those in the veteran community in general and those who are which who are all under attack by this regime and those who are uh in uh the House of Representatives hearing either there or virtually
