Kristi Noem: We are deporting dangerous criminals
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem breaks down operations to secure the southern border, specifically targeting ‘the worst of the worst’ with criminal records who entered the United States illegally, on ‘Hannity.’
Federal immigration agents arrested 16 illegal immigrants caught trying to flee a Mississippi business during a workplace raid, authorities said.Â
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), the U.S. Border Patrol and other agencies were at Gulf Coast Prestress Partners, in Pass Christian on the Gulf Coast to conduct a worksite raid, ICE said.Â

One of the 18 was a 16-year-old Mexican citizen who was taken into custody by the Office of Refugee Resettlement.
Under federal law, employers are required to verify the identity and employment eligibility of all their workers, ICE said.
The worksite raids were nonexistent during the Biden administration. Under President Donald Trump, border and immigration authorities have tamped up operations targeting illegal immigrants, particularly those with criminal records.Â
