Kristi Noem says NYC safer after arrest of criminal illegal immigrants

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has made it clear that the Trump administration is cracking down on criminal illegal immigrants. In the first week of her tenure, Noem joined an immigration enforcement raid in New York City targeting the violent Tren de Aragua gang. The raid resulted in the arrest of alleged ringleader Anderson Zambrano-Pacheco, who was wanted for his involvement in a violent incident in Colorado.

Noem emphasized that the focus of these raids is on capturing the “worst of the worst” individuals who pose a threat to public safety. She highlighted the importance of lifting sanctuary city laws to allow authorities to effectively target and prosecute criminal illegal immigrants. Noem stressed the need for collaboration between federal and local authorities to ensure that dangerous individuals are identified and removed from communities.

During her time with immigration agents, Noem expressed her support for their efforts and commitment to providing the resources they need to carry out their duties effectively. She noted that under the Trump administration, three times as many criminal illegal immigrants were being arrested compared to the previous administration, leading to a decrease in encounters at the southern border.

Noem’s message to the world is clear: illegal immigrants who are dangerous are not welcome in the United States. The Trump administration is sending a strong message that those who pose a threat to public safety will be targeted and removed from the country. By prioritizing the arrest of criminal illegal immigrants, the administration is working to make communities safer and protect the American people.
