Noem in New York City for immigration enforcement operation
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem was in New York City Tuesday morning, accompanying agents carrying out an immigration enforcement operation.
Noem, who was confirmed as the head of DHS on Saturday, shared a video of the operation on Tuesday, showing agents taking away a man in handcuffs in an undisclosed location in New York City.
“Enforcement operation in NYC. Criminal alien with kidnapping, assault & burglary charges is now in custody - thanks to @ICE,” Noem said in a Tuesday morning post on X alongside the video. “Dirtbags like this will continue to be removed from our streets.”
The Immigration Customs and Enforcement (ICE) New York field office said it started carrying out “enhanced targeted operations,” alongside New York’s FBI office and other federal agencies to “enforce US immigration law & preserve public safety & national security by removing criminal aliens from our communities.”
The DEA shared a photo on social media of the operation and said the agency’s work resulted in the arrest of an individual on “kidnapping, assault & burglary charges.”
Law enforcement agencies have been carrying out raids across the country. ICE has been sharing daily updates on the number of people the agency has arrested. On Monday, ICE made 1,179 arrests, according to the update.
Noem’s presence in New York City came just days after formally becoming head of the agency, which will be at the center of President Trump’s plan to crack down on immigration and carry out mass deportations.
Since taking office last week, Trump has signed myriad executive orders on immigration, including halting refugee admission programs, ending birthright citizenship and designating some cartels as Foreign Terrorist Organizations.
