“Under the leadership of Mayor Frey, under the leadership of Gov. Walz, more violent crimes are being perpetuated in these communities because of their refusal to defend American citizens,” Noem said during the press conference. “Regardless, our federal officers, our ICE officers, ERO, HSI and partnership with our Department of Justice, agencies and other individuals throughout the federal government, we will continue to do the work to make sure these criminals are removed from our communities.”

“It’s up to the president on if he believes the National Guard should be deployed to any situation in any city across our country, but we do have an increase in federal officers that will be coming,” said Noem. “We had a bill pass through Congress that allocated 10,000 new ICE officers to us across the country, we have received over 175,00 applicants for those jobs.”
She explained the first 1,200 to 1,500 of those new officers are already working in field offices, while thousands more are expected to be deployed in the next week or two.2.

According to Noem, more than 4,300 people have been removed from the streets of Minnesota since Jan. 1. She said 3,316 of those individuals had a criminal history.
“The individuals that have been arrested and removed have had crimes and charges against them such as murder, assaults, homicides, robberies, carjackings and shootings,” said Noem.3.
1. ABC Skews cited crime figures chosen the make Trump's and ICE's actions look like tyrannous over-reactions. The context not given is that the stats are filtered by city and state officials and police higher-ups and are likely to have been doctored through under-charging and under-reporting serious crimes
(something WashDC did so blatantly that "street"-level officers got so sick of it that they risked their careers by blowing the whistle on WashPD MisLeaders). "Laundering" fudged data through the FBI doesn't un-fudge the data.
2. Several thousand new ICE officers being deployed by the end of October? That should be scary to Dems and illegals,
.
3. DU-grade Progs would want to use "just" 70%-75% having criminal records as evidence ICE is not tightly focused on finding, detaining, and deporting criminals. IRL illegals who are criminals don't isolate themselves from communities that speak their language. Thus, those they are likely to hang out with will include others illegally present who do not have criminal records, who sometimes will be caught when those with criminal records are caught. IOW that 70%-75% stat evidences the tightness ICE's focus, i.e.
only 25%-30% of those detained are illegals who do not have criminal records.
