Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem held a press conference in Minneapolis on Friday afternoon to discuss immigration enforcement in the Twin Cities.
In the press conference, Noem gave details on recent arrests made by Immigration Control and Enforcement (ICE) in Minnesota.
According to Noem, the individuals were arrested for either homicide, human trafficking or sexual assault.
Noem praised the work of USCIS in the state, who, under operation “Twin Shield”, has been investigating visa fraud in Minnesota.
At the press conference, Noem condemned “violent protests, violent attacks, riots and attacks on law enforcement,” and is encouraging Gov. Tim Walz and Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey to have a partnership with DHS law enforcement.
Noem said that it is up to the President if the National Guard will be deployed here, but did say there would be an “increase” in federal officers coming.
“It’s up to the President on if he believes the National Guard should be deployed to any situation to any city across our country,” Noem said at the press conference. “But we do have an increase of federal officers that will be coming. As you know, we had a big bill passed through Congress that allocated 10,000 new ICE officers across the country.”
Noem said Minnesota will see “dozens” of new agents and federal officers.
