Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem gave the photojournalist President Donald Trump praised as the “no. 1 photographer in the world” a close-up of the administration’s plans for the controversial Guantánamo Bay detention camp.

The New York Times' Doug Mills was invited to photograph Noem and Guantánamo Bay personnel on Friday at the U.S. Navy compound as men described as Venezuelan gang members were brought to the facility.

I think it goes beyond CosPlay.

Check out IHIP news on YouTube. They have some great content, including a piece called “Bigot Barbie Plays Dress Up.”
