New Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem joined federal agents in New York City Tuesday morning for deportation raids on a Bronx apartment building.
Noem documented the morning on X, sharing pictures and videos from the raids.
“Just now. Enforcement operation in NYC. Criminal alien with kidnapping, assault & burglary charges is now in custody – thanks to @ICE. Dirtbags like this will continue to be removed from our streets,” Noem posted alongside a video showing the illegal immigrant being led away in handcuffs.
