“In the last 6 weeks, our brave DHS law enforcement have arrested 3,000 criminal illegal aliens including vicious murderers, rapists, child pedophiles and incredibly dangerous individuals. A HUGE victory for public safety,” she added.
Noem introduced final week that extra ICE brokers could be deployed to Minneapolis amid the Trump administration’s sweeping immigration crackdown.
The GOP White House official’s submit comes amid ongoing protests sparked by the deadly capturing of 37-year-old Renee Good by an ICE officer, who was later recognized as Jonathan Ross, throughout an operation in Minneapolis earlier this month.

After Brennan swiftly interjected to appropriate Noem, telling her, “It’s not 70%,” the homeland safety secretary argued her down, responding, “Yes, it is. It absolutely is.”
She then attacked the journalist and accused the CBS community of “picking and choosing what numbers” to report on.
“Well, our reporting is 47% based on your agency’s own numbers ― 47% have criminal convictions against them,” Brennan replied, prompting Noem to double down that she was “wrong again.”
