DHS Sec. Kristi Noem has now CHALLENGED CNN's Kaitlan Collins to see what it's really like at the Portland ICE facility.
"We will talk to her and see what we can do to convince her to come out in the REAL world - to get out from behind the desk and actually walk in the shoes of our law enforcement."
"That would be fantastic. Maybe that's how we fix the fake news in this country."
Do it, @KaitlanCollins! Show your audience how "safe" Portland is.
Here's Noem's challenge to Collins. (WATCH)

Kaitlan should do this. She claims to be a journalist. Get on the front line with LE then and see what's happening with your own eyes

Collins coming to Portland is unlikely.
Why? Because if she comes to Portland, she will see things like this. (WATCH ALL)

Can’t have that on CNN every night.
Posters are just as skeptical of Collins hopping on a plane to cover genuine news.
The problem is I just don't think that the CNN propaganda machine would allow that because it may actually show something that they don't want people who watch CNN to see.

Kaitlin Collin’s would have to hire private security.

Would she see the hypocrisy in that?
Kaitlyn would never, it would completely destroy the narrative she tries to push .

The most likely outcome of this challenge is Collins remaining safe behind her desk. Still, the invitation is open if CNN and Collins ever change their minds.
