New Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem has a warning for any immigrant attempting to enter the United States illegally: You WILL “be caught” and deported.
Noem posted to X thanking President Donald Trump for securing the border and for “putting America first.”
“Thank you, President Donald J. Trump for securing our border and putting America first,” Noem said. “Let me deliver a message from President Trump to the world: If you are considering entering America illegally, don’t even think about it.

“For too long, weak leadership has left our borders wide open — flooding our communities with drugs, human trafficking and violent criminals,” she added. “Those days are over. Under President Trump, we are defending American families and restoring their safety. If you try to enter illegally, you will be caught. You will be removed, and you will never return.
