New U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem jumped right into the job, getting down and dirty with U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement officials. Her first day on the job was spent conducting raids in search of illegal immigrants.
Noem shared a video on social media from the raids, announcing that she watched officers take down a violent illegal immigrant wanted for kidnapping, assault, and burglary into custody.

“Dirtbags like this will continue to be removed from our streets,” she declared.
In the video, an unmarked SUV had blue and red lights flashing as a handcuffed suspect is seen walking with officers from an apartment building to one of the vehicles.

A Department of Homeland Security spokesperson told Fox News that the raid targeted “murderers, kidnappers, and individuals charged of assault and burglary.”
One of the illegals arrested was a Dominican national who had an Interpol Red Notice for a double homicide in his home country.
