Noem strikes the mayor of Nashville, emphasizes the crime under illegal …

Kristi Noem, secretary of the home protection authority, gave an update from Nashville, Tennessee on Friday morning, about the business activity of immigration and enforcement of the customs authority within the region and the country. Immigration officers arrested almost 300,000 illegal migrants, since President Donald Trump had taken another office in January, she noticed. About 70% of the arrested have criminal convictions or pending charges against them, added NoEM. Over 600 known or alleged terrorists were deported together with thousands of gang members, she said.

Noem has expressly highlighted a number of criminal migrants that have been arrested in the Nashville area since January, including:

• An Iraqi man with previous convictions of rape, theft and false detention

• A Guatemaltec person who is charged with three cases of rape of children, sexual exploitation of a minor and identity theft

• An El Salvadorian with MS-13 gang tie, who was the subject of an interpol-speak announcement and wanted to be in his home country because of severe murder

• Two Venezuelan citizens with connections to the gang tren de Aragua, which was accused of promoting prostitution and avoiding arrest

• A Venezuelan man who was charged with murder because he supposedly stabbed his own wife

She also noticed the previous arrest of the Salvadorical man Kilmar Abrego Garcia, who was arrested and accused of being an MS-13 member at the beginning of this year. He was temporarily deported to a Salvadorical prison, but is now exposed to human trafficking in Nashville with federal trade, said NoEM. Abrego Garcia holds decades of connections to MS-13, and his indictment painted the image of a monster that misused women and asked individuals for child pornography, she said.

What else did she say? Noem accused the mayor of Nashville, Freddie O'Connell, to work with ice agents in the city. O'Connell publicly shows the information from ice agents and encourages people to work against them, said Noem. He now forces all city employees to document every single interaction that they have with the federal immigration authorities, added them. O'Connell plays politics and it risks people's lives, she said.

World turned to O'Connell's office for a comment on Friday afternoon. This story is updated when an answer is received.

DHS will continue to work in Nashville and have more resources in order to be adopted after the only large, beautiful draft law, NOEM added. Noem continued to encourage non-state members to use the DHS offer for a free ticket house if they prepare themselves. She noticed that Guatemala, Honduras, Colombia and Panama start programs to help the return of nationals to receive loans, employment and education.
