Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem highlighted the Trump administration’s efforts to deport illegal immigrants with criminal records in a video posted on X. The individuals featured in the video were convicted of serious crimes, including arson, child molestation, and online predatory behavior involving minors.
“It truly is remarkable the people we’ve been able to deport now that President Trump is in the White House,” Secretary Noem said in the video. She then displayed mugshots of three illegal immigrants, detailing their convictions.
“Child molesters. Arsonists. Online child predators. These are just a few of the criminals who were in this country illegally and were arrested in recent days,” Noem wrote in the post.
Noem emphasized that the individuals shown in the video represent only a fraction of the criminal illegal immigrants the administration has successfully deported.

NOEM ANNOUNCES DHS REGISTRY FOR ILLEGAL ALIENS IN US THAT WILL REQUIRE THEM TO BE FINGERPRINTED
During a Tuesday appearance on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Noem announced that the administration would enforce the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1952, requiring individuals aged 14 or older who are in the country illegally to register with the federal government.
“This provides them an opportunity to one day return and be part of the American Dream,” Noem told Watters.
DHS warned that migrants who fail to leave the U.S., register with the government, provide fingerprints, or update their address changes will face criminal penalties.

On Monday, a DHS spokesperson told Fox News Digital that Secretary Noem would discontinue the use of the CBP One app, which allowed migrants to board domestic flights. However, migrants can still fly if they are self-deporting. The Biden administration had used the app to permit migrants to fly without proper identification.
DHS and ICE did not immediately respond to Fox News’ request for further details.
