Kristi Noem has spent the past few days driving a hard line on immigration enforcement as Secretary of Homeland Security. The Department of Homeland Security highlighted arrests by ICE of what it called the worst of the worst criminal illegal aliens, including individuals convicted of child sex offenses, assault, larceny, and burglary, with Noem set to host a press conference in the Chicago area detailing recent operations and cases, according to the DHS website. DHS also said Noem is pushing international cooperation, noting meetings with senior officials in Chile to tighten information sharing tied to the Visa Waiver Program and combat transnational crime, per DHS.On hiring and capacity, Time Magazine reports that ICE is struggling to staff up to meet White House deportation goals, prompting Noem to waive age limits so applicants as young as eighteen and over forty can apply, expand training beyond the federal academy in Georgia, and court retired federal officers to return to service. Fox News Digital adds that more than one hundred thousand people have applied for ICE roles in roughly two weeks, after the administration launched a push to hire ten thousand officers with incentives such as signing bonuses and student loan repayment. Noem framed the recruitment blitz as a call to patriotically defend the homeland, according to Fox News Digital.Policy moves are facing courtroom tests. The Civil Rights Litigation Clearinghouse details National TPS Alliance v. Noem, a lawsuit challenging DHS decisions to terminate Temporary Protected Status for Honduras, Nepal, and Nicaragua under Executive Order 14159. On July thirty one, a federal court postponed the effective date of those TPS terminations until a November merits hearing, with plaintiffs alleging the process was rushed, inadequately justified, and discriminatory. A separate complaint filed by Democracy Forward on August eleven describes litigation over DHS’s April action to revoke parole granted through the CBP One app and to urge self deportation via a new CBP Home app, citing mass email notices and abrupt status changes as grounds for legal challenge.There is heightened political scrutiny of tactics in the field. Representative Julia Brownley announced that the Democratic Women’s Caucus sent an August eleven letter to Noem and ICE leadership urging clear agent identification, visible badges, and an end to masked plainclothes arrests in unmarked vehicles. The letter warns that current practices are enabling impersonators to target and assault women and calls for immediate reforms.Noem also weighed in on a high profile case, telling Fox News Digital that the man convicted in the killing of Maryland mother Rachel Morin should never have been in the country, while DHS promoted the reopening of the victims of immigration crime office to support families, according to Fox News Digital.Thanks for tuning in, and be sure to subscribe.
