(Crankers) Secretary Kristi Noem confirmed a massive movement that ended in the arrest of over 5,000 illegal immigrant criminals in Los Angeles. Some of the criminals were labeled as the ‘worst of the worst’ after the United States Border Patrol and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) were done with their mission.
Reports on news websites like Tampa Free Press say many of the arrests were gang members, rapists, murderers, and child s-x offenders. It’s unclear if all arrests took place in Los Angeles, or the authorities simply operated in that area and made arrests outside of the city. Either way, 5,000+ arrests is a very large number.
Tampa Free Press quoted Kristi Noem saying the following: “DHS law enforcement has made over 5,000 arrests in Los Angeles. That’s more than 5,000 criminal undocumented individuals, gang members, child predators, and murderers taken off our streets… Precious lives saved. Families protected. American taxpayers spared the cost of their crimes AND the burden of their benefits. Thank you to our brave law enforcement officers. Make no mistake: if you are here illegally, we will find you, arrest you, and send you back. This is just the beginning.”
The Trump administration appears to have its eyes on sanctuary cities and cleaning up the criminal activity that often comes with harboring people who might be breaking the law.
