One would never know it by the despicable comments of Democrats, liberals, and others on the Left regarding the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers, but the agencies are working diligently to make the country much safer. This includes removing illegal immigrants, specifically those with a violent criminal background.
In return, Democrats have vilified, demonized, scolded, and compared them to some of the worst people in the history of human civilization, all for doing their job to protect people in the country to help prevent any more tragic murders, such as Laken Riley and Rachel Morin.
On Tuesday, DHS Secretary Kristi Noem announced the arrest of the 5,000th illegal alien in Los Angeles, California, since June. These initiatives were part of the Trump administration’s plans, which began on Jan. 20, 2025. DHS and ICE amplified their efforts when aggressive and radical protesters began their usual violent protest tactics: destroying property, attacking law enforcement officials, wreaking havoc, and causing mayhem. Democrats in California allowed the violence to go unchecked; the Trump administration had other plans, however.
“Border Patrol and ICE law enforcement faced riots and assaults against them as they risked their lives to arrest the worst of the worst in Los Angeles,” read a statement from the DHS.
As they have been for the duration of Noem’s term as DHS secretary, ICE officials have dealt with the “worst of the worst” when it comes to bringing sanity, normalcy, and safety in enforcing illegal immigration law. Whether it has been dealing with rabid, left-wing protesters throwing rocks and bricks at officers or arresting murderers, thieves, and drug and human traffickers polluting the country’s population, DHS and ICE deserve praise for their work in Los Angeles.
Noem acknowledged their efforts in a statement on Tuesday.
“Today, DHS law enforcement made its 5,000th arrest in Los Angeles,” the statement said. “That’s 5,000 criminal illegal aliens, 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.”
Noem is correct. No one should listen to the character assassination attempts by left-wing agitprop and radical extremists regarding DHS and ICE officials. The Trump administration has made significant progress in making our country safer, and in doing so, was required to clean up the agenda-driven messes and pro-immigration ideological efforts of Democratic elected officials, politicians, fundraisers, and ideologues. These people knowingly endangered innocent citizens in this country to adhere to a disturbing, dangerous, and misguided agenda. President Donald Trump, Noem, DHS, and ICE are the heroes remedying their disastrous policies.
The arrest of 5,000 illegal immigrants in Los Angeles deserves accolades and praise. It should also be the first milestone in the long path of removing dangerous illegal aliens in this country, and guarantee the core tenets highlighted in the Preamble to the U.S. Constitution: “establish justice, ensure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty.”
AS DEMS TOUT ‘LOWER CRIME RATES,’ DC’S HOMICIDES ARE STILL MUCH HIGHER THAN BEFORE
Let’s celebrate the arrest of these 5,000 and look forward to their future efforts to remove those with criminal backgrounds looking to do evil and cause harm. Let’s celebrate ICE, DHS, Noem, and Trump for having the courage to honor their pledge and do what was necessary regarding illegal immigrants in the United States — a task that many congresspeople, senators, and presidents vowed to do in the past, but never had the guts to go through with it.
Today, it was 5,000 illegal migrants in Los Angeles, California. Hopefully, there will be thousands more in other cities throughout the country in a few months.
