“Secretary Noem is fulfilling President Trump’s promise to carry out mass deportations—starting with the worst of the worst,” the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) reported Monday, recapping the first 100 days of the DHS secretary’s work to keep Americans safe.
Fully 75% of the arrests made by DHS’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers “are criminal illegal aliens with convictions or pending charges,” DHS notes.
In particular, DHS highlighted its work to protect Americans from illegal alien gang members – particularly MS-13 gang members from El Salvador:
“DHS deported nearly 300 Tren de Aragua and MS-13 terrorists to the Terrorism Confinement Center (CECOT) Prison in El Salvador, where they no longer pose a threat to the American people.
“While in El Salvador, Secretary Noem signed a Memorandum of Cooperation to update the Security Alliance for Fugitive Enforcement (SAFE) between the U.S. and El Salvador. This agreement ensures fugitives’ criminal records are shared between America and El Salvador, so that criminals are not inadvertently released into American communities.”
The DHS report comes as legacy media and Democrats in Congress attempt to portray deported El Salvadoran illegal alien MS-13 terrorist gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia as a victim and demand the Trump administration return him to the U.S. to continue living in the country illegally.
“Under Secretary Noem’s leadership, DHS has arrested over 168,000 illegal aliens in 2025 alone, including more than 600 members of Tren de Aragua,” DHS notes.
