Kristi Noem, the Secretary of Homeland Security, traveled to Florida this week as part of a nationwide tour highlighting her agency’s immigration enforcement efforts. In Bradenton, Noem delivered an update on the work of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, commonly known as ICE, and emphasized the close partnership between federal agents and Florida law enforcement. According to FOX 13 Tampa Bay, Noem praised Florida for signing more agreements under the 287(g) program than any other state, which allows local officers to assist with federal immigration enforcement. She stated that these partnerships are helping to remove criminal illegal aliens from communities and make streets safer.
Noem reported that since January, Homeland Security has arrested over 480,000 criminal illegal aliens nationwide, with about 70 percent facing criminal charges or convictions. She pointed to seized weapons and drugs displayed at the event as evidence of the dangers posed by those targeted for removal. Noem also highlighted the risks faced by law enforcement, citing a recent attack on an ICE facility that resulted in two deaths and three injuries. She claimed the suspect targeted ICE agents, leaving behind anti-ICE messages, and warned that threats against officers, including bounties posted online, have increased.
Amid ongoing debates over immigration policy, Noem argued public support for stricter enforcement is strong, citing polls that indicate 78 percent of Americans want criminal illegal aliens brought to justice. She criticized leaders in cities like Portland, Chicago and San Francisco for not cooperating with ICE, contrasting them with Florida’s collaborative approach. Noem reaffirmed the administration’s policy of prosecuting crimes committed by those in the country illegally before deportation and mentioned a voluntary departure program that offers financial assistance to some individuals.
On the recruitment front, Noem said over 175,000 people applied for 10,000 new ICE agent positions announced earlier this year. She also defended the transparency of enforcement operations and stated that protocols have not changed under the current administration.
