This is the kind of news that actually matters. On Monday, the Department of Homeland Security announced it had removed 10,000 illegal aliens from Minneapolis—3,000 of them in just the last six weeks. That’s not a talking point or a theory; it’s concrete action, and it means fewer criminals on the streets. Like it or not, removing illegal aliens makes Minneapolis safer, and this proves it:
PEACE AND PUBLIC SAFETY IN MINNEAPOLIS! We have arrested over 10,000 criminal illegal aliens who were killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror in Minneapolis because Tim Walz and Jacob Frey refuse to protect their own people and instead protect criminals. In the…

Noem’s tweet said in full:
PEACE AND PUBLIC SAFETY IN MINNEAPOLIS! We have arrested over 10,000 criminal illegal aliens who were killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror in Minneapolis because Tim Walz and Jacob Frey refuse to protect their own people and instead protect criminals. In the last 6 weeks, our brave DHS law enforcement have arrested 3,000 criminal illegal aliens including vicious murderers, rapists, child pedophiles and incredibly dangerous individuals. A HUGE victory for public safety.
There is MASSIVE Fraud in Minneapolis, at least $19 billion and that’s just the tip of iceberg. Our Homeland Security Investigators are on the ground in Minneapolis conducting wide scale investigations to get justice for the American people who have been robbed blind.
MAKE AMERICA SAFE AGAIN.
On Monday, there were more details released:
More than 10,000 illegal immigrants have been arrested in Minneapolis since the start of the second Trump administration, with 3,000 cuffed in the last six weeks alone, the Department of Homeland Security announced Monday.
“PEACE AND PUBLIC SAFETY IN MINNEAPOLIS!” DHS Secretary Kristi Noem proclaimed in a post on X.
Those arrested, Noem said, “were killing Americans, hurting children and reigning terror in Minneapolis because Tim Walz and Jacob Frey refuse to protect their own people and instead protect criminals.”
This is a win by any honest measure. The Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement have focused their efforts on illegal aliens with criminal records, and removing 10,000 of them is no small achievement. The result is straightforward: Minneapolis and the surrounding area are safer. That’s true regardless of the noise from left-wing protesters who are doing everything they can to derail ICE operations. Law enforcement did its job, and public safety is better for it.
Mind you, left-wing paid and unpaid protestors and rioters have caused problems every step of the way (and who is funding them, by the way? When do we get to those arrests?):
Starting just after Thanksgiving, DHS has launched what it frequently calls the largest immigration enforcement operation in Minneapolis history in recent weeks, deploying around 3,000 agents from various agencies including ICE, Customs and Border Protection, Homeland Security Investigations and others.

This is one of those moments where there is no shortcut and no alternative. The only way out is through. This has to be done—not just because it’s the law, and the law is not a buffet where you pick what you like and ignore the rest—but because these are, by and large, people we do not want here.
They entered the country illegally. They remain here illegally. And many didn’t stop there. Beyond violating immigration law, a significant number went on to commit serious crimes—robbery, sexual assault, even murder. That is not compassion; that is negligence masquerading as virtue.
Now reality is asserting itself. These individuals are being rounded up and sent back where they came from—or they’re standing trial for the crimes they committed on American soil. That’s called accountability, something the left seems allergic to but the public desperately wants.
The job isn’t finished. It’s going to get tougher before it’s over. But it is happening. And no—I’m still not tired of winning.
