WASHINGTON — U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) St. Paul arrested criminal illegal aliens, all of whom are convicted sexual predators, during a coordinated targeted enforcement operation in the Minneapolis area between June 6 and June 11, 2025.
Under Tim Walz’s leadership, these depraved individuals have been walking freely around Minneapolis with impunity terrorizing American children.
Below are some of the criminal illegal aliens arrested in the targeted operation:

…
“These pedophiles and sex offenders are the sickos our brave ICE law enforcement are putting their lives on the line to arrest and remove from American communities,” said Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin. “Governor Walz and his fellow sanctuary politicians are fighting to keep these sex offenders and other criminal illegal aliens in our country. Instead of comparing ICE to the Nazi-Gestapo, Governor Walz should be thanking our law enforcement for removing these pedophiles from Minnesota.”
…
Secretary Noem unleashed ICE to target the worst of the worst—including gang members, murderers, and rapists. President Trump is putting the American people first by removing illegal aliens who pose a threat to our communities

Reads more like a political mud-slinging ad you would see around election time.
If a political persuasion or group wants to stir up fear and hatred, all they have to do is invent or use derogatory names and statements and ‘Presto!’, instant outrage!
Mankind hasn’t changed much over these thousands of years-the same tactics still work now as they did back then.
Oh, I will say one thing. We have improved the methods and weapons to destroy each other more effectively in much greater numbers :-/

A warning about what?
Most migrants don’t commit crimes compared to native born Americans, so ICE should arrest those who are on the Epstein List or shut up.
So. I’m a green card holder that was convicted on CSAM. Did 5 years fed, had a detainer, and right before I was to be released, that detainer was remvoed and I was allowed to stay in the US.
Guess who the president was at that time? Yes, the current a**hole!!
This is all theatre. I’m sitting here, off paper now, and while I worry, I’m not thinking they’re coming for me.
Did I just jinx myself? lol!
I actually very indirectly know of someone arrested I’m not sure about in this sweep because they aren’t listed in the article but same area. They have been in this country nearly 40 years and were convicted of a sex offense 25 years ago. For whatever reason they never applied for citizenship but had a green card. Married with US citizen spouse and children. They are currently in proceedings for a final order of removal. Worse, the country they are from won’t accept them because the length of time that has gone by since he last was there is too long. He has lots of money and is spending a fortune trying to not be removed. If he his removed they will supposedly send him to Sudan because he will be stateless.
Did we expect any less from these people. Nothing like deflecting…!
What Noem fails to state is that ICE was aware of their whereabouts because they were listed on the registry. It didn’t take any detective work to locate these individuals. It was U.S. policy that allowed them to remain in the U.S., not a “p*d*phile loving governor”.
