MUGSHOTS: DHS identifies some of the illegal alien criminals captured in Minnesota ICE raids

3

Despite the mobs of protesters taking to the streets in Minneapolis, and the hot condemnation from Minnesota Democrats, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem vowed that ICE is not backing down from doing their job to round up illegal alien criminals.

Fox News reporter Matt Finn posted Saturday, “1,000 additional Border Patrol agents are scheduled to surge Minneapolis very soon, per DHS sources including a senior official. There’s currently about 2k agents on the ground. DHS is sharply placing its focus on MSP. Border Patrol tells us more immigration agents free up HSI investigators to continue probing the fraud.”

Noem had announced on January 6, “DHS has surged law enforcement to Minneapolis and has already arrested more than 1,500 crooks and creeps: murderers, rapists, pedophiles, and gang members.”

On Saturday, DHS blasted out mugshots of just 19 of the hundreds of illegal alien criminals who have been recently taken into custody in Minnesota.

“Below are the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens that our brave ICE officers arrested, despite the efforts of rioters and sanctuary politicians to protect them,” DHS wrote in a press release.

The mugshots were also posted on X by ICE, who wrote, “ICE arrests criminal illegal aliens. Communities get safer. Governor Walz and Mayor Frey’s radical sanctuary agenda is doing the opposite — putting Minnesotans at risk. Here are some of the monsters Walz, Frey and rioters are defending in MN:”

Some of these criminal aliens have had final orders of removal for 30 years, but they’ve been free to terrorize Minnesotans. ICE’s arrests prevent recidivism and make communities safer, but it feels like local politicians want to ignore that part and drum up discontent rather than protect their own constituents.”
